The following rules were developed by KHS students to insure every dance would be enjoyable and safe for every student.
- Dances are a school function, ALL school rules apply. Chaperones will report any violations to a staff member.
- Chaperones have the right to ask any student his/her name and have the right to ask unruly and disruptive students to leave without reimbursement.
- Only one guest (non-Kirkwood student) permitted per KHS student and the guest must be accompanied by a Kirkwood student. Guests must have a Visitor Permission Form completed by the principal of their high school or their employer. If the guest is attending college the parents of the Kirkwood student may complete the visitor permission form for the guest.
- Students who are suspended at the time of the dance may not attend.
- Students requiring transportation home must make advance arrangements for prompt departure at the end of the function. Failure to do so may jeopardize future attendance for school-sponsored dances.
- Attire for dances should be appropriate and in good taste for a school function.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: All outstanding debt to KHS and all detentions must be cleared prior to purchasing tickets for the Friendship Dance or Prom.
