Dances are a fun memory in a high school student's life. A lot of work goes into preparing dances for students to have the best time possible. To ensure that everyone has a good time at a dance, rules have been established to ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment.

The following RUSD rules can be found in the Student Code of Conduct handbook under Student Dance Policies.

Dance Policies for All RUSD High Schools

It is understood that student dances are a privilege and not a right. To that end, these policies have been put into effect for the appropriate enjoyment for all attendees. Violation of rules requiring student removal from the dance will be done without a refund. Any behavior demonstrated at a dance that leads to a school suspension will result in being banned from further participation from dances for the school year. Any student who is ineligible to participate in dances, due to a behavioral violation or if a student does not meet the criteria outlined below for being considered in Good Standing, may utilize a school-based appeal process. Contact your principal to find out how to file an appeal.
