Standards of Christian morality are expected at all dances, and chaperones will confront any student behavior  that is disruptive or unbecoming. In the event of any violation of these regulations or any other behavior deemed  inappropriate, the Dean of the guest’s school will be notified of the incident. For the duration of the dance, students will be  expected to be in compliance with the standards of dress stated above. All dance styles must comply with standards of  Christian morality, standards that include modesty, safety and respect for self and others. School personnel will be the final  judge of the appropriateness of dance style. Inappropriate dancing includes, but is not limited to the following: slam dancing,  break dancing, moshing, “freaking,” suggestive or otherwise inappropriate or dangerous dancing. Only face to face  dancing at an appropriate distance is permitted.  Students and their guests MAY NOT engage in any sexually  explicit form of dancing.  Everyone must follow the directions of the supervisors and the security.  Behavior regulations  and school policies apply to school proms, on or off campus. No refunds will be given for a student who is asked to leave  the dance for inappropriate behavior and/or dress
Required
Pre/Post Prom Activities *
Students are not to travel in party busses or vehicles that hold more than 12 passengers.  Serra  prohibits the rental of party buses and yachts as well as hotel rooms due to the lack of supervision, the issue of safety and  the disregard for Christian conduct and respect. It is important that parents who decide to rent transportation or facilities  afterwards understand their liability.  It is highly recommended that parents take the initiative to talk to the driver and check  as students enter the vehicle to ensure that no alcohol or drugs are present.  Students and parents are reminded that prom  is to be a healthy and safe event.  Students are not to participate in any activities that are in violation of Junípero Serra High  School’s policies.  Students who violate the policies will be brought before the Disciplinary Review Board for possible expulsion.
Required
Drugs/Alcohol *
Any student may be subject to breathalyzer tests at any time.  Possessing, selling, giving away, or being  under the influence of alcohol, drugs, and /or illegal substances at or around the dance, will result in parents being  contacted and students being asked to leave the dance. Students who are in violation of school policies will also be subject  to school disciplinary procedures.  Further disciplinary measures are outlined in the Serious Misconduct section of the Student-Parent Handbook. Students who violate this policy will be brought before the Disciplinary Review Board for possible expulsion. Behavior regulations and school policies apply to proms, on or off campus.
Required
Violations *
If a student or his guest violates the dress code or the behavior expectations, his or her parent will need to pick their child up at the prom venue.

Legal Issues *
Senate Bill AB2486: This bill states that: "party hosts now face the threat of a civil lawsuit if they provide alcoholic beverages to people under the age of 21."  Please note that if you are hosting students before or after the prom, that this should be a drug and alcohol free event with adequate supervision.
