Prom... Coming Soon!
Prom is just around the corner, and I just wanted to take a moment to remind you about our policies around high school dances, especially prom. This is a special day for our school community, and I want to make sure we are all on the same page! DANCES: Dance rules-Senior High The senior high school is permitted one dance each month, and special event dances (Homecoming, etc.) are counted within the limit. Appropriate behavior is expected at all times at any activities prior to, during, and after dances. The students must be in good citizenship standing. Appropriate attire is expected. 1. Once you are in the building, you must stay. If you leave, you will not be permitted to re-enter. One hour after the dance starts, there will be no one admitted without a bona fide excuse from a coach, sponsor, etc. 2. Absolutely no alcohol, drugs, or tobacco products will be brought on the premises. 3. Students who cause problems will be asked to leave and will be denied admittance to future dances. 4. Admission prices, if any, will be determined by the sponsoring organization. 5. Dances are for high school students and their invited guests. No junior high or elementary students are permitted. 6. Out-of-school dates must be 19 years old or younger and must be signed up by their in-school host 3 days in advance of the dance. 7. Dances terminate by 12:00 am. 8. Seniors can only be King and Queen one (1) time their senior year: Prom, Homecoming, Courtwarming, and Ice Castles are the only recognized royalty. 9. KING AND QUEEN Policy: In order to be eligible to be a senior king or queen candidate at Pleasanton High School, the senior must meet the requirements set by the state of Kansas and the Pleasanton BOE to graduate in May of that school year. *Principal discretion.

Parent/Adult/Spectator Expectations at Events: In order to ensure a safe and orderly environment in which our students can maximize their educational and social development, the following regulations are enacted with respect to the conduct of adult visitors:
1. Access to extracurricular locker rooms, meeting rooms, school transportation, and the like is strictly limited to students involved in extracurricular activities, sponsors/coaches, and administrators. Access by all others is prohibited by the Board of Education. Failure to comply with this policy will result in a suspension of the individual from extracurricular activities and/or school premises.
2. Verbally aggressive behavior, which would include, but not be limited to, threats, intimidation, and profanity, will result in limited access to school premises and school activities for up to one (1) year. The length of the restriction will be determined by the administration.
3. Physical or violent behavior will result in a ban by the Board of Education from school premises and activities and will be referred to law enforcement.
4. Failures to comply with the restricted access provided in these regulations will result in the filing of civil and/or criminal charges.
Parents - We need you!
A site council is a commitment to the school in hopes of making it the best school it can be. It is a time commitment, but it is also a commitment to seek solutions to areas of weakness in our system. A great school is always seeking ways to improve and a site council helps to lead those improvements.
