7/8 Dance Expectations

Good morning, Crocker,

7th and 8th graders, please review the dance expectations for our first dance of the year. The location has changed, and a few rules have as well.

DANCE EXPECTATIONS


1. The dance is on Friday, October 2, for 7th and 8th graders. These events are for Crocker students only.


2. Students in good standing and wishing to attend a school dance can purchase tickets each day before the dance at AM recess, lunch recess, or at the entrance to the dance.


3. The dances are scheduled from 6:00 to 8:00 PM and held in the Crocker Gym.


4. Students must attend at least three periods of a school day to participate in a school dance. If a student does not attend school the day of the dance due to illness or leaves school early the day of the dance due to illness, the student cannot attend the dance that evening.


5. Once students enter, they are not allowed to leave until the dance officially ends at 8:00 PM. Please arrive on time; the doors close promptly 30 minutes after the dance begins.


6. The area by the bike racks and HREC portable is available for students who want a break from the dark and/or loud music. The Student Store is open for snacks and drinks. Do not bring snacks or drinks inside the Gym.


7. You may bring your phone to the dance, but using the phone, taking pictures, or taking videos is prohibited. Phones will be confiscated if they are used. Do not bring other electronic devices to the dance.


8. There is no chaperoned area to leave purses, backpacks, or other items, so students should leave valuables at home.


9. All students must arrange to be picked up in front of the North MPR traffic circle upon the conclusion of the dance by a parent/guardian. Students are NOT allowed to walk or bike home on their own, be picked up from a different location, or call a ride-share service, like Uber, Waymo, or Lyft.


10. Students can only wear athletic shoes in the gym; no shoes with a heel or hard sole are allowed. 


Thank you, Vikings; have a great time!
