JJB - SCHOOL DANCES

School dances, sponsored by the student council, classes and extracurricular teams/clubs, are for the entertainment of RSU 1 students. The following guidelines apply:

  1. RSU 1 students may request permission to have a guest attend any dance with prior approval by the school principal. This approval must be obtained at least 3 days prior to the dance.

  2. The host student from RSU 1 accepts responsibility for the behavior and activities of the guest while attending any school social function. The guest will provide emergency or parental contact information prior to entering the dance.

  3. Students will not be admitted if they are suspected of being under the influence of any drug or intoxicant. The student will not be admitted and his/her parent will be notified. The student will be subject to disciplinary action the next school day.

  4. The schools' code of conduct governs expected behavior at all dances. Unruly conduct and loitering on school grounds or in the parking lot will result in a student being asked to leave. Further disciplinary action may occur.

  5. Once a student leaves a school sponsored social activity, he/she will not be permitted to return. When a student leaves the dance (the school building), he/she is no longer the responsibility of the school.

  6. Appropriate dress is required for all school dances. Students are not permitted to wear clothing that is deemed sexually provocative, promotes use of drugs or alcohol products or is defiantly disrespectful to any group of people.

  7. There will be no discrimination in the price of tickets for singles and couples (i.e., the price for two tickets will always be double that of the price for one ticket).

  8. RSU 1 has a breathalyzer policy in place (Policy JICHA), and will be utilized as needed.

  9. Appropriate supervision will be determined by the school principal. The administration reserves the right to require police supervision paid for by the sponsoring group.

  10. Sponsoring class or organization will make all necessary arrangements for facility use.

  11. Each school is given approval to make reasonable rules governing eligibility to attend school dances and publish them in the school handbook.

  12. The administrators will develop appropriate procedure to fully implement this policy.
