Dear Parents & Guardians:
March 2012
Spring is a time of the year where we are able to enjoy a number of special events that involve our students.
However, many of these events creat occasions for students to “party” with alcohol and other drugs. This is
certainly a high-risk time of the year with participation in prom and graduation. We would like to take this
opportunity to encourage you to join us in promoting healthy choices for our young people. Our best-case
scenario is the encourage our students to avoid situations that can lead to alcohol/drug use. We are confident
that you share our concern for the safety and well being of the youth of the Oconomowoc area. We ask your
support in the following manner:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Do not allow alcohol or other drugs to be present at home parties.
Do not allow alcohol or other drugs to be present in hotels or cars.
Do provide adequate adult supervision at home gatherings.
Do encourage family conversation with specific times and places your teen plans to be from the time
he/she leaves home until he/she returns.
5. Do call parents involved to double check the plans to be assured that adults will be present and
awake at any post-prom parties and that alcohol/drugs will not be present.
The Oconomowoc community has consistently been very supportive with these requests and thank you for your
continued support. Prom will be at the Milwaukee Art Museum on Saturday, April 21, 2012 from 6:00pm
to 11:00 pm. For the safety of the students, a coach bus service will be provided to and from Prom and Post
Prom. It is mandatory for the students to ride the bus to all of the prom activities. Any student arriving by any
other means will not be admitted in. There are no exceptions.
Post Prom will be held at the Oconomowoc YMCA and additional information is enclosed. Prom and Post Prom
are school-sponsored functions so all the school rules are in effect.

Again, please be proactive in helping our students have a safe prom and graduation season. If you observe or
hear of any underage drinking or drug use please contact the police and notify all parents of students involved.
As we continue to work together, we can empower our students to make healthy choices that will keep them and
others safe. Thank you for your continued help to provide a safe and positive community for our students.
