Freshman/ Sophomore Semi-Formal

Freshmen/ Sophomore Semi-Formal Info

Dear Parent/Guardian:

We would like to request your assistance in reviewing with your son a few points to assure that we will have a successful, problem-free, and safe Semi-Formal. Accordingly, please review the following with your son.

The Freshman/ Sophomore Semi-Formal is a Seton Hall Prep sponsored activity. All Seton Hall Prep rules and regulations regarding the use of alcohol, tobacco, or any other illegal substance, are therefore fully in force. Should any student arrive at the Formal under the influence of any illegal substance, or if any student is involved with any illegal substance while at the Semi-Formal, he will be reported to the police officer on site and his parents will be called immediately to take him home. He will then be referred to the Dean of Men's Office for the appropriate action, which will jeopardize his enrollment at the Prep.

We would request that all parents commit to the following:

If either a pre or post Semi-Formal party is held at your home, it will be with you at home.
There will be no alcohol of any kind served or consumed at that party.
Careful attention will be given that no alcohol is brought into your home by other students.
As a parent, please be aware of where your son is attending parties both before and after the Semi-Formal, and be certain that there will be parents at home adhering to this no alcohol policy. We request that parents communicate with each other in confirming party plans, parental supervision, etc.
Students must arrive at the Semi-Formal by 7:30 p.m. Students may not leave the Formal until the event ends at 10:00 p.m.
Any social media posts which portray any Seton Hall Preparatory School student misrepresenting either himself or Seton Hall Prep will be referred to the Deans of Men. Appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken.
Semi-Formal attire for men is a blazer and tie or a suit. Ladies may wear a dress (gowns are not necessary).
No hired personal photographers are allowed on the premises.

The occurrence of this activity may well provide you with an opportunity to talk with your child about responsible decision- making, difficult "adult" situations, the existence of consequences, your expectations, your child's real dilemmas, the power of peer pressure, etc.

We thank you for your cooperation in adhering to these requests. Dances are great times. Your sons deserve to have that great time in a wholesome, fun-filled, safe setting.
