esponsible manner. SLUH will reach its’ goal by employing, but not limiting itself to the guidelines and standards listed below. Most formal dances begin at 8 pm and end at 11 pm, while mixers will begin at 7 pm and end at 10 pm. A. Formal Dances During the year there will be several formal date dances sponsored by St. Louis U. High. We support and encourage these events (Fall & Sno-Ball for Juniors and Seniors, Freshman, Sophomore and Junior Class Dances and the Senior Prom) to introduce to the students a more formal, social setting and also to help formulate proper manners and behavior between males and females. Dates of opposite gender are required. Formal attire must be worn. (See Dress Code) In addition to the usual norms of expected behavior, our policy for these formal events is as follows: • When a student purchases a reservation to a formal dance he agrees to abide by the guidelines or forfeit his attendance at the event and possibly any future attendance at similar events sponsored by St. Louis U. High. • The attire for the Fall Ball, Sno-Ball, Freshmen, Sophomore and Junior Class Dances, is semi-formal; for the Senior Prom the attire is formal. (Formal attire requires a tuxedo, while semi-formal attire requires a coat and tie.) • For each of the more formal dances, parents will be informed by letter about these particular dances. Included in the letter will be a statement about the required arrival and departure times. • There will be an attempt to notify a parent by phone if their son is refused admittance because of his late arrival or for unacceptable behavior. • Parents and students should be aware of school policy against possession and/or use of alcohol and other illegal drugs at/or before a school function. If a student is in violation of school policy, there will be an attempt to immediately notify his parents. At the very least, automatic expulsion from the dance and suspension from school results. Parents and students should be aware of school policy regarding school sponsored dances and know also that the school does not approve of hotel parties or unchaperoned parties of any kind. It is our position that parents would know and approve of their son’s plans for before- or after-the-dance parties and get-togethers. B. Mixers STUCO sponsors several mixers during the year: Back to School Mixer, ACES Mixer, and Spring Fling Mixer. Only SLUH students and females will be allowed to attend. Doors to the dance will be closed at 9:00 pm or earlier if 43
capacity has been reached. Parents are advised not to leave after dropping off their son until they are sure he has been allowed admittance. • Dancing-While dancing, there will be room in between bodies (on fast music); no one on the ground; no “simulated sex acts”; no mosh, slam, profane or suggestive dancing. • Dress-Clothing that is revealing (bare back and stomach) and suggestive may not be worn. This includes tube, see through and forms of halter tops. Clothing w/vulgar, sexual, suggestive, profane, illegal or alcoholic messages may not be worn. Skirts must not be shorter than middle of thigh and shorts or pants cannot reveal any part of the buttocks. • Music-DJs will avoid songs with explicitly sexual, vulgar suggestive lyrics. K. Items of General Information Announcements are scrolled over the television monitors. Any announcement to be scrolled must be authorized by a faculty member and submitted to the Assistant Principal for Student Life. Announcements are also linked with the SLUH website. (www.sluh.org) Flyers, posters or notices regarding SLUH or non-school activities must be authorized by the Asst. Principal for Student Life before posting. Homeroom teachers should always be asked for their permission before posting signs on classrooms bulletin boards. Students are expected to respect all signs and notices posted in school. Defacement of these will make the student liable for disciplinary action. Students can use the phone in the Asst. Principal for Student Life’s office. There are bike racks near the northwest doors on the west side of the school building for those who ride their bikes to school. All bikes must be locked to the bike rack. Announcements concerning the cancellation of school or a special schedule due to inclement weather will be made via phone blast. Notices will also be placed on radio stations KMOX (1120AM) or KTRS and television stations KTVI Channel 2, KMOV Channel 4, KSDK Channel 5, KPLR Channel 11 and KDNL Channel 30. Parents wishing to leave a message for their son during the school day should call the switchboard by 2 pm. Any messages after 2 pm are not guaranteed to reach the student. Messages should be left for extraordinary reasons only. The phone number for the switchboard is 531-0330. The switchboard is open on weekdays from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. 44
