Prom Eligibility & Early Dismissal for Proms

Student Safety Program Requirement: Students are required to attend a prom safety program or else they will not be permitted to attend.

Parent Pre-Prom Requirement: A parent/guardian will be required to attend a mandated pre-prom presentation in order for their child to attend a prom. The projected pre-prom dates for both Northern Valley Old Tappan and Northern Valley Demarest will be determined and communicated at a later date. Parents may attend a pre- prom at either school. Prior attendance in previous years will not exempt a parent from attending.

Early dismissals for proms: Students must attend four hours of academic time, not including lunch or change of class. Students who owe detentions will not be allowed to leave early for the prom or attend the prom.

Student attendance following prom: Students must be in attendance the next school day following prom or they will be considered truant. Although this is commonly thought of as an absence of which the parent is aware, certain absences of which the parent is aware will be treated in the matter of truancies.
