The following procedures will be carried out for any student or guest suspected of possession or use of alcohol or a controlled dangerous substance.

1. The student or guest will be required to submit to a urine test and/or a breathalyzer test that may, at the discretion of administration, be administered on site at the prom, at the local police station, or at a medical facility.  
2. A parent/guardian will be notified, and the parent/guardian will be required to pick up his/her child.  No refund of the prom bid will be given.
3. The police will be notified.  The student/guest may be subject to police action, including arrest or other legal charges.
4. All consequences outlined in the Student Handbook and Board Policy will be enforced, including suspension, loss of parking privileges, loss of privileges to participate in extracurricular activities and sports, and any other applicable penalties.
5. A CONFIRMED POSITIVE DRUG/ALCOHOL TEST OR CONFIRMED POSSESSION OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS, OR DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WILL RESULT IN LOSS OF THE PRIVILEGE FOR SENIORS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE GRADUATION CEREMONY. Refusal to submit to a drug/alcohol test will be counted as an automatic positive.

Students and their guests are expected to act in a mature and appropriate manner at the prom.  All school rules and Board Policies, including disciplinary actions, will be in effect.  The parent/guardian will be notified if a student disregards the rules and policies, and the student/guest may be removed from the prom with no refund of the prom bid. 

Any student bringing an escort who is not a student of Middletown Public Schools will be responsible for his/her escort adhering to this contract as well as all school rules and Board policies.

Any student found falsifying any information, signature, or initials on this contract will not be permitted to attend the prom, no refund will be given, and disciplinary action will be taken.

Compliance with the rules set forth in this contract as well as school rules and Board Policies is a condition of admittance to and continued attendance at the prom.  Violations of this contract, school rules, or Board Policies will result in disciplinary action, removal from the prom, and parent/guardian notification.  Violation of the Board’s Substance Abuse Policy will also result in police notification and loss of certain privileges, including loss by senior students of the privilege to participate in this year’s graduation ceremony.

The undersigned acknowledges reading and understanding the rules and requirements appearing on the previous pages of this contract and agrees to abide by them as a condition of attendance at the Middletown High School North prom.

Further, I promise not to drink alcohol or consume any illegal substance on prom night.  I commit myself to celebrating in a safe and healthy way.  I pledge not to get into a car with someone who has been drinking alcohol or who has consumed an illegal substance.  If I find myself in a situation where I feel unsafe or uncomfortable, I promise to call you, my parent or guardian, for a ride home.  I commit to this pledge and recognize there are consequences for every decision I make.  In signing this contract, I fully understand and acknowledge the conditions of attendance at the prom and will adhere to the aforementioned conditions and advise my date of the same.
