SAFETY AND APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR
Many students are already making plans for Prom, and it is important that parents are involved in these plans. Your guidance is essential to ensure students do not engage in behavior that is potentially dangerous or illegal. Please talk with other parents about guidelines or questions you have about the evening.
To ensure the safety of all students attending Prom, hotel room rental parties or any parties that permit alcohol or drugs are prohibited under state law, the hotel’s rules, and school policy. As with all other school events, use of alcohol, tobacco, nicotine, vaping products, and other prohibited substances as defined in our Student Guidebook is strictly prohibited. In addition, each student attending the dance, including non-New Trier students, must adhere to the expectations set forth in the Guest Request Form and abide by all school rules. This agreement also provides students with the following information regarding consequences for failing to follow the rules: Students found in possession of illegal substances or alcohol will be turned over to local police. Students who are found to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be assessed for medical care, and parents will be required to pick them up at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. Students will also face school disciplinary action.

We will begin checking students into Prom at 6:00 p.m. At this time photos can be taken, soft drinks and hot hors d’oeuvres will be available, and students can visit with friends until the food service begins at 6:45 p.m. Students who arrive after 7:00 pm will not be permitted entry, and students must remain at the Prom until 9:00 pm. The Prom ends at 10:00 p.m. Once a student has left Prom, they will not be permitted to reenter.
We appreciate your support in helping our students set expectations and parameters for an enjoyable and safe night.
