Dress Code for 8th Grade Promotion Dance
 All 8th graders attending the dance at the Crossings on June 6th will be expected to adhere to the current school dress code with the following exceptions: Spaghetti straps and straps less than 2" in width will be allowed provided a sweater or shrug is worn. No strapless dresses will be allowed. Dresses and skirts must meet the existing code of 1" beyond finger length. High heeled shoes will be allowed  provided they are 2" or less in height.
 
As this is a school sponsored event at an off-campus site, appropriate behavior is extremely important. Student behavior will be a direct reflection of our school and district. Consequences for making poor choices will be the same as those at the school site.  We look forward to fun filled evening that marks the end (almost) of middle school for this terrific group of students.
