Homecoming Dance is September 23, 2011

Our first dance of the school year is happening September 23 at WHS!  It is Homecoming! YAHOO!

We are very excited about the Homecoming Dance.....Tahitian Dreams!  It should be a wonderful evening.  We are asking for your cooperation and support with our Dance Dress Code and Behavior Expectations listed below.

 Parents please take a look at your student's attire prior to them leaving for the dance Saturday night. Use the below listed dress code to make sure they are appropriately dressed.  Coming to a dance inappropriately dressed will result in a student being turned away at the door and sent home with no refund. Students who are dropped off will be asked to call their parent to come pick them up. If no parent can be contacted, the student(s) will remain in the registration area of the dance and wait for their intended transportation home.

Attire will be assessed at the door by an administrator.

Dress Code:

·      Ladies dresses must be no shorter than the middle of the thigh.

·      The tops of all dresses must fully cover the breast area. Excessive cleavage is not allowed. V-neck dresses must not plunge any deeper than the bottom of the bra line area.

·      At no point on the dress should any part of the midriff be exposed. Dress backs must not fall below the waist (not the hip bone).

·      Dresses may not have slits that go higher the middle of the thigh.

Dance Behavior:

The style of dance over the past few years has become a concern. Our goal is not to inhibit students' creativity but to bring acceptable decorum back to the dances. Dance appropriateness will be assessed by the WHS staff during the dance.

·      Several students dancing nearly on top of one another is not allowed

·      Bumping, grinding or any dancing of a sexual nature is not allowed (as determined by the staff).

Students attending the Homecoming Dance will be given a wristband on entering the dance. If a staff member encounters inappropriate dancing he/she will speak to the student and remove the wristband.  If a staff member encounters the same student(s) and they have not discontinued the inappropriate dancing they will be asked to leave the dance without refund.

We hope all students and parents will support our efforts in ensuring a safe and appropriate atmosphere for all students as they attend school activities. When choosing clothing for a dance, if you question whether or not the clothing meets these expectations please error on the side of caution and choose another outfit.
