UNICEF SOCIAL for ARMS Students - 11/01

Friday, November 1, 7:00-9:00 PM

Pay at the door…FEE: $4.00

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS

The objective of the SOCIAL is to provide a safe environment for ARMS students to socialize and participate in activities such as games, dancing to a DJ, and more. The financial benefit will go to UNICEF and the Art Club. If the ticket price presents a hardship, students may go to the guidance office to receive a ticket; these requests will be confidential.

Parent/Guardian Support Needed! We know it is important to respect the Middle School Students’ need for independence, and we know that  students will resist the idea of their parents/guardians attending the social. We have devised a system to utilize parent chaperones, which respects the student’s independence. We assign parent chaperones to the hallways, as monitors at doors and collecting money, while we utilize faculty and staff inside the cafeteria (dance floor). Please respectfully tell your youngster that we cannot hold the social without Parent/Guardian support, and that you do not want the social to be cancelled due to lack of chaperones. Please email Tara Kuzmeskus at kuzmeskust@arps.org or call the school 362-1800 to sign up to be a chaperone.

HEALTH and SAFETY GUIDELINES for the SOCIAL:

Parents/Guardians please review with your youngster.

Health and safety is a priority at all ARMS events. For that reason, we are uncompromising about these guidelines. Students who do not comply will have their parent/guardian phoned to take them home.

-The use or possession of drugs, alcohol, tobacco or other controlled substances is not tolerated at any ARMS event.

-All coats, purses and backpacks must be left behind the counter at the door.

-The social is from 7:00-9:00; for safety reasons students will not be permitted to leave the building until 9:00 PM.

-The social is for Amherst Regional Middle School students ONLY. We are sorry we cannot allow guests from other schools to attend: not even ARHS.

-Unsafe behavior or physical aggression is not acceptable. Dancing is great as long as it is appropriate.

-The social ends at 9:00. All Parents/Guardians should please BE IN THE PARKING LOT PROMPTLY AT 9:00! We advise against allowing students to “go into town” to hang out! Please support our health and safety efforts by picking up your student on time! Do not wait for them to call you! Please be waiting at 9:00.
