8th Grade Farewell Dance Important Information
Please read the information below. This is the same information that was emailed to all 8th grade families earlier this semester.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Parents/Guardians and 8th graders,
We are now in the final semester of your student’s middle school experience! To honor our 8th grade class, Stevenson will host an 8th grade “Farewell Dance” on Friday, June 2, 2023 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Since this celebration is honoring the current 8th grade class and their advancement to high school, we want to make sure that students are working hard to achieve their highest possible final grades. To help curb an early onset of spring fever, we are adhering to the following policy:
Any student receiving three or more days of suspension (CUMULATIVE) between February 1 and June 2nd may not be allowed to attend the “Farewell Dance” subject to administrator discretion. This policy includes both In-School and Out-of-School suspensions for any infraction (including tardiness).
While this is a special celebration for 8th graders only, it is not considered a formal event. The expected dress is business casual, which may include dresses, slacks and dress shirts.
Student Code of Conduct expectations must be followed when choosing your clothing for the “Farewell Dance.” Students should be able to dress appropriately for this event without incurring any excessive expense. Students wearing revealing clothing, such as short dresses/skirts, low cut tops, strapless tops/dresses and sagging pants will be excluded from entry on the evening of the dance. Additionally, no limousines will be allowed on school property.
Please talk with your student about making good choices to ensure he/she will remain eligible to participate in the dance. Please discuss the expectations located on the reverse side of this letter with your son or daughter.
After reviewing the expectations, please submit the acknowledgement Google Form below before your student purchases his/her ticket starting May 18h. Your student will not be allowed to purchase a ticket for the “Farewell Dance” if he/she does not complete this acknowledgement form signed by you.
We appreciate your support and hope that all 8th graders will attend the “Farewell Dance.” If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Stevenson at 734-419-2350.
Sincerely,
Kim Doman
Principal
