Get ready, get set, prom!
Our Jr./Sr. Prom is set for May 17 from 7-11 p.m. at
Settles Hill Tree Farm in Altamont, following the walk-through and prom
court at the high school auditorium from 5-6:30 p.m.
Earlier that day, from 10:45-11:30 a.m., a pre-prom
program encouraging constructive decisions will be held in the
auditorium for students in grades 10-12 and any 9th grade students who
are invited.
This Wellness Week event will be presented by Norine
Hodges of the Schoharie County Council on Alcohol and Substance Abuse,
and families are also welcome to attend.
Students must be academically and administratively
eligible to attend the prom, and are expected to sign the Prom
Proclamation, which is designed to raise awareness and encourage
successful decision making.
A Prom Guest Contract must be
signed by prom guests, his/her parent/legal guardian and principal of
the guest's school district, if applicable. The Prom Guest Contract
is available here as a downloadable pdf. Families should review the
contract carefully with their sons/daughters who will attend this year’s
prom. The guest contract is due in the main office by Friday,
April 26, in order for the guest’s school principal to be
contacted for approval.
Prom participants, their guests and parents are
expected to review, sign and return the proclamation to Ms. McClure by
Monday, May 13. A copy of the Prom Proclamation
is available here as a downloadable pdf, and also will be given
students when they purchase tickets.
