2008 Prom Information

INFORMATION SHEET—PROM 2008

 

The Junior-Senior prom will be held Saturday, April 26 at The Westin Buckhead from 8:00 p.m. until 12:00 midnight.   We encourage our students to consider the curfew that went into effect January 1, 2002 when making plans for Prom.  Drivers who are 16 and 17 years of age can not be driving between midnight and 6 a.m. if they are to be in compliance with the curfew.  

 

 

DUES

 

Students must pay dues to attend.  This includes new students who did not pay dues as juniors.  Dues are currently $100 for all juniors and seniors who did not pay last year.  Dues will be raised on April 21st to $150.  Dues payments will no longer be accepted after Thursday, April 24th!  THIS INCLUDES THE NIGHT OF PROM, NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!  Should you still need to pay your dues, you will need to bring a CHECK OR MONEY ORDER payable to Parkview High School to Ms. Spivey in room 1.214 (before or after school).

 

DATE TICKETS

 

Any Parkview junior or senior, who is planning to bring a date that is not a Parkview student or is an underclassman, must buy a ticket for their date.  The cost is $30 (non-refundable).  These tickets will be sold in the cafeteria before school April 21 – 25 and in the cafeteria after school April 21-April 24.  THERE WILL BE NO DATE TICKET SALES AFTER SCHOOL ON FRIDAY, APRIL 25!!!  Check & Money Order only please (made payable to Parkview High School).

 

 

INVITATIONS

 

Each student who has paid his or her junior dues should have received an invitation in guided study.  The invitation is a memento only and is not necessary for admittance into the prom.  A master list will be used at the registration desk to check students in.  Each student will register individually—not as a couple.  Additionally, every student must have a PHOTO ID with them upon check in at prom.  If you did not receive an invitation, and you have a copy of the contribution’s sheet that was prepared during fall registration, please see Ms. Spivey in room 1.214.

 

 

DIRECTIONS (from Hwy. 78)

 

Take I-85 South, towards Atlanta (approximately 12.8 miles) to the Cheshire Bridge Road/Lenox Road exit, Exit 88.  Turn right onto Lenox Road at the bottom of the exit ramp.  Go 2 miles to Peachtree Road and turn left.  Then turn left at the second traffic light.  The Westin Buckhead hotel will be on your right. 

 

 

PARKING

 

If you are driving your own car, you should self-park for $8.  Parking can be paid for with cash or credit card.   Take the elevator from the parking deck to the motor lobby (it is “ML” on the elevators) of the hotel.  When you enter the hotel, the parking services desk will be on your left.  Students are strongly encouraged to stop at parking services and pay for parking before checking-in at the prom.  Parking services will give you a validated parking ticket that you will need in order to get out of the parking garage when leaving the prom. 

 

If you are planning to rent a limousine, please check out the company’s references.  Review the contract carefully before signing. 

 

 

 

DRESS

 

Appropriate formal wear only.  Please use good judgment in selecting acceptable clothing.  Regular suits for males are also acceptable

 

REMINDER

 

This is a school function and all school rules apply to Parkview students and their dates (even if they do not attend high school).

 

Anyone leaving the prom after check-in will not be allowed to return unless you are there before 8 p.m. to have your pictures taken. 

 

The Prom King and Queen will be announced at 10:00 p.m.  If you have been nominated, please be at the prom by 9:45.

 

Food this year will be assorted desserts, fresh fruits, water and soft drinks.

 

If you are planning to go to dinner before the prom, it would be wise to make reservations for an early time.  Many students have spent three hours or more at a restaurant and were only able to dance for a short time. 

 

 

COAT CHECK

 

There will be no area for coat check available this year.  Students are asked to consider this when bringing items such as tuxedo jackets and purses into prom.

 

 

PICTURE CHOICES AND INFORMATION

 

Pictures will begin at 5 p.m.  Students have the option of coming to have pictures taken before dinner.  Come early to avoid the wait.

 

Payment for the pictures must be made at the prom.  Cash or check (made payable to Andrew Watson Photography) will be accepted.
