Prom season is upon us with Ranum's events on April 19 and Westminster's on May 10. At this time it is critical for parents to express their expectations of their students behavior. However, this is no one-way street and parents are reminded to make themselves available for responsible behaviors.

Informational letters were mailed out to the homes of all District 50 Juniors and Seniors.
The letter can be downloaded here.

Along with the letter a Parent/Teen Contract was included.
The contract can be downloaded here.
