Guest Policy: Students who wish to bring a guest who does NOT attend Fremd 5X社区 must complete the guest information form embedded into MySchoolBucks or a paper copy available through the main office at the time of purchase. The Guest Form requires the guest’s first and last name, current school, current grade level in school, parent/guardian name, and emergency contact number.

Evening of Event: Fremd students must have their Fremd ID to enter the dance, and their guest must have a valid form of identification (ex: student ID, state ID, driver’s license). Once students enter the dance, they must remain in the dance or concessions area. Students who leave the dance will not be readmitted.
Dance Attire: The Homecoming dance is a semi-formal dance. Students have traditionally worn dress pants/ties and dresses to the dance. Due to the dance being outside, we ask students to be mindful of the weather and dress accordingly. Students will be dancing on a concrete surface; comfortable footwear for dancing is encouraged. Students concerned about wearing dress shoes in the parking lot should plan to bring an additional set of comfortable shoes to wear while dancing.
Behavioral Expectations: All students attending a dance sponsored by Fremd 5X社区 acknowledge that it is a school-related event, and all school rules apply. Students are expected to dance in a respectable manner. Dancing that is inappropriate or that creates unsafe conditions is not allowed. The administration reserves the right to remove any student from a dance for any type of behavior that is deemed inappropriate. Guests that are removed from any dance, for any reason, may jeopardize attendance at future school events. Students who are excused from the dance for disciplinary reasons will not receive a refund of their ticket.
Additional Information: Volunteers from the Fremd Boosters will sponsor a coat check for coats and bags. Since the dance is outdoors and students will be dancing on the parking lot concrete surface, footwear suitable for dancing (gym shoes) is strongly encouraged.
