Expectations:

Only students who are enrolled at ETMS may attend the dance or be on school grounds.
No limousines.
Nice school or dressy clothes are appropriate for all students. Although ETMS recognizes the value of allowing individual student self-expression, the dance is an extension of the school day and student handbook policies still apply. Students who violate these guidelines will not be allowed to enter the dance.
Students must be in attendance for no less than the last 4 periods of the school day of the dance. Students may not have been in ISS or OSS the day of the event.
Students must meet academic and student conduct eligibility requirements outlined in our ETMS student handbook to attend the dance (based on 1st quarter grades).
Student behavior will be expected to reflect participation in a school event. Inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated, and discipline consequences and removal from the dance will occur.

Bison artists participated in the third annual Real World Learning project with downtown Lee's Summit businesses. Students who were selected to participate submitted designs based on what their business "client" required. The window designs support downtown businesses as they prepare for Small Business Saturday and the holiday season.
