Dances for seventh and eighth grade students are scheduled throughout the school year. These dances are held for students presently enrolled during the current school year at the Owen J. Roberts Middle School - no visitors are permitted. Unless otherwise announced, all tickets for dances must be purchased in advance. In order to attend, students must be in official school attendance (arrival no later than 9:45 AM) on the scheduled day of the dance. Students assigned to Organized Study or who are suspended out-of- school on the day of the dance are not permitted to attend.
All school policies, regulations, and the Code of Conduct will be in effect during dances. Students are urged to utilize good judgment regarding clothing and attire, as the Dress Code will also be enforced. Suggestive or provocative dancing is inappropriate and strictly prohibited. The Administration will maintain the sole authority and discretion regarding student attire and conduct for dances. Student participation in events such as dances shall be contingent upon appropriate behavior in school, school attendance record, and eligibility. The Administration may prohibit student attendance and participation for this reason.
All dances will begin at 7:00 PM and end at 9:00 PM. Students are to be picked up no later than 15 minutes following the conclusion of the dance. Attendance at future dances may be jeopardized if this policy is ignored. Your cooperation is appreciated.
