Moore MST Magnet Dance Rules

We hope your children will join us at one of the dances this year. Please cooperate with us on these dance rules to help us keep the dances safe and fun. If you would like to chaperone a school dance please feel free to.  The dances at Moore MST Magnet Middle School are for Moore students only. No guests are allowed.

When students arrive at the dance, they must enter the dance and stay inside until the dance is over or until their parent comes to pick them up. If a student leaves early, the parent must come to the door and get him/her since we will not have supervision in the parking lot for students who might want to wait for their ride prior to the end of the dance.

Moore dances are from 7:00-10:00pm.  Although walking to the dance is permitted, we encourage parents to drop their children off rather than allow them to walk. Some students in the past have been known to take detours between home and the dance, and not all of these detours are safe.

Students should have rides planned prior to the dance. Students should plan to leave no later than 10:00pm. A telephone is available in the gym in case of emergency.

Students are encouraged to dance (in socially appropriate ways), chat with friends, enjoy the music and enjoy snacks from the concession stand. Students should not run, rough house or dance inappropriately.

Students who have been assigned either in-school or out-of-school suspension during the week of a dance cannot attend the school dance.

There will be no promiscuous or provocative dancing. All violators will be given one warning. Repeat offenders may be asked to call their parents for a ride home. They may be asked to not attend the next school dance or banned from attending any dances at Moore for the rest of the school year. Moshing, or slam dancing is not acceptable. School dances are for students to socialize with their peers. The expectation is for everyone to have fun and be safe. Therefore, repeat offenders may be asked to call their parents for a ride home.

Horseplay, running and wrestling are not permitted. Violators will be put in timeout in the corner. If behavior continues, they may be asked to leave the dance or barred from the next dance, even if it's next year.

Concession items, including food and drink, will not be allowed on the gym floor.

Students are expected to comply with directions of teachers and parent chaperones. Students are expected to adhere to the following; No exposed midriffs, short shorts, short skirts, low-cut tops (front or back), or hats of any type will be allowed. Students who are not following these rules will be asked to call home and arrange a wardrobe change.

Students who do not adhere to these rules will be asked not to attend the next dance or banned from attending any dances at Moore for the rest of the year.
