Dinner Dance Advice
As dinner dance approaches this Friday, please be mindful of the dress code requirements and the weather. Also, students must attend school for at least a half day at 10:45 am.
Please read the next paragraph with your Child and Discuss
In the past, some parents have hosted very large after parties. These are not associated with the school, but I encourage you to discuss with your child if they are being invited to an after party. Some after parties have been as large as 50-100 students, which makes it makes it challenging to supervise students and keep them safe. Please talk with your child about making positive choices, being able to say no and having a prepared line to say if they feel they are in an uncomfortable situation.
Dinner Dance Dress Expectations
- Students are expected to wear formal wear to the dance. Shirt and Tie/Dresses/Suits
- The handbook states, "Dress must be appropriate for the age level, sufficiently modest and in good taste. Each school will establish guidelines for appropriate dress".
OQMS guidelines are as follows: dress length should be at least to the student's thumbs with arms on the side, the material should not be see-through, dresses should NOT reveal an entire front belly of the student.
If you have questions about the dress code at the dance please contact Mr. Billingsley or Mrs. Kleehammer.
