To assure everyone is safe and sound the night of Prom, the prom planning committee (four adult women) will be joined by their husbands to chaperon the event. Warehouse 18 is a wonderfully open venue with the restrooms just steps away from the dining room. If all goes according to plan, Warehouse 18 will have added a substantial porch where the students can go to catch a breath of fresh air. There are several entrances and exits to Warehouse 18, but students will only enter and exit on the side running parallel to the railroad tracks and beside the parking lot. From the parking lot, students will walk up the outdoor steps to the CaRNiVaL EnTRaNCe. Please have your tickets in hand upon entering so we can quickly let everyone in for pictures.
Parents who wish to come to the prom must fill out a ticket order form with a note specifying that they will attend as a parent. The cost for for a parent ticket is the same as a student ticket ($50). All parents will sit together with the adult chaperons and are asked to observe from a distance. We want this experience to be a special one for all students, and it just takes something away from the festivities if moms and dads are on the dance floor. If you see a problem, please find a chaperon so that we can handle it immediately.
Below you will find the the rules for our prom. These rules will be printed on your order form, and each student and a parent must sign that they have read and agree with them.
Rules and regulations that parents and students should read and discuss:
· The Catawba Valley Homeschool Prom is open to 9th - 12th grade registered homeschoolers + a guest (who can be a homeschooler but doesn’t have to be).
· Guests brought by a homeschooler should not be younger than 14 or older than 22.
· Every student must completely fill out a ticket order form in order to attend the prom.
* Signed order forms with payment should be postmarked by Fri. 4/21/17 to gain admittance at regular price. Tickets are $65 each after this date, and no order forms will be accepted that are postmarked after Mon. 5/1/17.
· Enter & exit Warehouse 18 only from the parking lot which is on the side of the railroad tracks.
· Students are not permitted to "hangout" in the parking lots. If you need to go to your car, a chaperon will join you.
· The only outside location a student is permitted is the porch.
· Once you leave the prom, you are not permitted back unless prior permission has been given for special circumstances.
· We suggest formal attire for the prom: Ladies, long or short formal dresses or pantsuits; gentlemen, tuxedos, suits or dress shirt, vest, pants and tie.
· No foul language or obscene gestures will be tolerated. Parents will be called and students will be asked to leave.
· Students will be dancing on hardwood floors, so taking your shoes off (as many of the young ladies do) is at your own risk. Splinters HuRT!
· No smoking inside or outside (this includes the parking lot) the premises. Any student caught smoking will be asked to leave after their parents are called.
· Absolutely no alcohol or drugs. If a student is caught in the possession of such items, the student's parents and the police will be called. NO EXCEPTIONS.
· Students are expected to behave appropriately for a formal event; Student's will treat each other, the adult chaperons, our DJs, photographer & the employees of Warehouse 18 with respect at all times.
· Students are encouraged to bring only what is needed to prom. The prom committee is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
· Tables or seats will NOT be reserved. If students wish to sit together, it is suggested that they arrive when the doors open at 5:00 pm.
· No student is allowed to bring more than one guest, but special permission can be obtained by e-mailed Tamara ([email protected]) with your request. If your request is approved a special order form will be e-mailed to you for your additional guest. NOTE: Approval very much depends on space.
