The following dance rules and procedures were developed jointly by the administration and a committee of student representatives:
1. Students who plan to attend a dance must agree to the following procedures:
Purses will be opened by the owner and contents shown to teachers.
Any contents of coat pockets and pant pockets shall be shown to teachers.
Anything suspicious looking must be explained.
Any student not agreeing to this check at the door will not be allowed to enter.
The student must present the student ID upon request. Unauthorized people will be asked to leave the premises.
This check will also be in effect for any guests brought to the dance.
All non-Monona Grove High School students attending a dance must be approved prior to the dance by administration, or they will not be allowed to enter.
2. After this initial check at the door, students will move on to the next table and pay admission. Another visual check will be made for students who might be under the influence.
If a student is suspected of being under the influence, he or she will be brought into the office and will be given a field sobriety test. If a student refuses to take the field sobriety test, he or she will be presumed and treated as if under the influence.
3. If a student is caught consuming, having consumed, possessing, or harboring drugs and/or alcohol, he/she will be dealt with through normal school rules and procedures. Parents will be notified.
4. Students will dance in an appropriate and respectful manner. “Grinding”, “body passing”, etc. will not be tolerated.
Regarding the above behaviors, a guest of a Monona Grove student is expected to follow the same standards. Not doing so will result in the Monona Grove student losing the privilege of bringing a guest to any future dances or activities. Any student not willing to follow these rules will have their parents called and they will be sent home. Other school consequences may occur depending upon the situation.
