The Class of 2013 is proud of its tradition of class spirit and cooperation at all functions. We expect the Senior Prom to be equally successful. The Senior Prom will be held at The Venetian in Garfield, NJ. The hours are from 6:30 pm to 11:30 pm on Thursday, May 30th. No one will be permitted entry after 7:00 pm nor be allowed to leave prior to 11:00 pm. These times will be strictly enforced. Attire for the dinner-dance is usually semi-formal; however, young men may wear either a jacket and tie or a tuxedo, as they wish. Please remember that the Prom is a school activity, and all school rules and policies apply. If a student becomes sick or unable to physically cope with the evening’s activity, his/her parent/guardian will be notified to pick up his/her child. Students arriving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance will not be admitted, and the parent/guardian will be notified immediately to pick up his/her child. Tickets will be on sale in room 213 after school only until May 16th. Students who have not submitted ALL of the information provided on the attached checklist by the date will not be able to attend prom. Tickets will be sold at a price of $85 per person or $170 per couple. Checks are to be made out to Ramapo High School with the name(s) of the student(s) on the memo line. No student can purchase a ticket without the attached Senior Prom Permission Form. The form asks for acknowledgement of this letter along with contact phone numbers. Students attending the Senior Prom have the privilege of selecting their own mode of transportation to the prom. Students may arrive by limo or by parent drop-off. They may also choose to drive to the prom, parking in the attached lot. Again, please note that students must arrive no later than 7:00 and may not leave before 11:00. May 30th is a school day. As such, attendance at school is required. Students must be on time and may leave after Period 5 (11:31). If a student is not in school on May 30th he/she will not be permitted to attend the Prom. The day following prom, Friday, May 31st, is also a school day. Absences on this day will NOT be excused. Candid photographs will be taken throughout the evening by a professional photographer (Lifetouch Photography) and will be available for purchase via online gallery shortly after the prom. Any student desiring a formal, posed portrait should ask the photographer. He/she will be happy to accommodate these students. If you have any questions about the Senior Prom, please do not hesitate to contact us directly via phone or email. Thank you for your cooperation, understanding and support.
