- Administration has the discretion to disqualify students due to excessive failing grades.
- Students cannot be assigned an in-school or out-of-school suspension during a two-week time period prior to the dance. If the student receives an in-school or out-of-school suspension during this time, the student will not be allowed to participate in the dance.
- Students must remain in designated areas.
