See i think the princapil is trying to make this dance into a prom like setting.I was told she come up with these rules a couple days ago.
Re: Dance at school has "dress code"
yeah i guess. but these are KIDS we're talking about.prom is for young adults.kids wouldnt really know what to wear at a dance like that.
Re: Dance at school has "dress code"
The School Board is involved? You've got to be kidding LOL. Sorry but really Joe, there are so many important issues that parents could be concerned about and go to the Board over (I ought to know lately) that a principal simply trying to have a nice dance with nicely dressed children attending....well seems to me a bit odd that the parents aren't supportive of this. Personally I'd be thrilled that the school wanted to encourage young people to see that it's nice to dress decently (certainly not semi or prom formal is expected here) in social settings and support the principal all the way on this one. Just my take on it though.

In my opinion she is taking the chance for the kids to come out of thier shells if you will by making them not want to attend it.Now be truthfull,i was scared to DEATH at my first dance at school to even ask a girl to dance at first.Its funny because we all knew each other but not in the "dance type" settings lol.I agree they should wear NICE clothes but not prom type clothes,so everyone can attend if they choose to.
Re: Dance at school has "dress code"
there are so many rules here, but we have over 3500 kids in the school, and it is REALLY hard for them to keep us all in line. hec, in the rule book we are not even aloud to bring cinnamon to school, but they basically stick to no fighting, keep the cursing down, no cell phones, try not to wear pajamas, go to class, and dont look at inapropriate things on the internet.

Yea it shocked me also.Like i said just a minute ago i see no problem letting all the kids to wear nice clothes so everyone can attend the dance.I think its something about how she just popped up with these rules for just this dance as she never said anything at the other dances.The whole school should have a certain nice dress code in my opinion.

Your school has almost more kids then out whole area(5500 people) is lol.Some of the 7th and 8th graders have the biker language problems and they just walk out in front of you even when they are not in the school crossing sections.Its weird because the principil never corrects the students for thier launguage or such but she has something for this dance.Maybe someday i will find out what is really going on lol.
Re: Dance at school has "dress code"
Perhaps she is trying to find a starting point Joe to slowly turn around some of the actions and attitude of her student body. Sadly though if parents are complaining to the Board over it and she's getting no backing from the parents and her Board, it will likely fail. Sad to say but often the best educators that try to step outside the strict guidelines of cirriculum give up because of stuff like this. Our recent decision to put Mikey into a private school where it's common place to teach morals, manners, etc. along with the ABC's is something I'm extremely pleased about.

Joanna,i think its the way she come about doing this.In the note it states she has the final decision and those not wearing these clothes will not get in the doors.I did not get to talk to the other parents for long so i do not know the whole story on this.It does state in the school rules that anything to do with the schools functions has to be approved by our school board and i guess she did not do this step.
Re: Dance at school has "dress code"
Ok i just talked to a neighbor that is involved with the school district.The school board is NOT involved with anything concerning the school dance dress code.I guess they had a 7th grader that was injured at the school this past Tuesday.They had to call a ambulance because his head was deeply gashed open.I was told the school did not contact the kids parents at all the hospital did.This goes to show proof how things can get crossed up i guess.Next time i need to know something concerning the school i guess i will talk to my neighbor and get the truth the first time lol.
