• We are so excited for our first school dance, scheduled for Thursday September 19 from 2:30 - 5:30.   
• Tickets will be on sale at lunch and after school Monday Sept. 16- Wednesday Sept 18 and will be $4. All proceeds go to support the Terry Fox foundation.  
• Please email Ms. Hornby (mahornby@cbe.ab.ca), Mr. Rachid (morachid@cbe.ab.ca) (A-K), Mr. Jensen (lgjensen@cbe.ab.ca) (L-Z) if you would like your child to be exempt from the dance fee. 
• On the afternoon of the dance, students who have purchased tickets will be called down to the gym starting at 2:30 pm.  
• Those who choose not to join us for the dance will be dismissed at the regular bell time of 2:51 pm.          

We very much appreciate home support in helping us have a successful event. Students earn the privilege to attend school dances by supporting the CBE Student Code of Conduct. Rights and responsibilities go hand in hand, and to have successful dances, we must have a “welcoming, caring, respectful and safe environment that respects diversity and fosters a sense of belonging for all members of our school community.” With that said, we want to communicate some specific expectations for our dance.  We appreciate parent support in discussing these expectations at home:   

• Come to the dance to enjoy time with friends and to dance. Be present with each other in a positive way – phones and all bags/purses are to be kept in lockers and students will not have access to them for the whole dance. Surround yourself with people who you have positive relationships with…and dance.   
• Be at school to be at the dance.  Students must be present for all classes on the day of the dance, unless they have a medical/dentist appointment. "Regular" attendance in classes from the beginning of the school year is also a determining factor in being a guest at school dances; extenuating circumstances such as illness or family events will be taken into consideration.  
• Plan to stay for the duration of the dance. Students are expected to stay at the dance once they arrive. If a student needs to leave early for an appointment etc., s/he/they must have written parent permission to leave at a specific time, arranged prior to arrival. The student must check with the supervising adult with whom they made these arrangements before they depart.       
• Food and drink need to be consumed in the front foyer. Students are encouraged to bring a water bottle. Limited snacks will be available for purchase.  Proceeds go to the Terry Fox Foundation.
