Your promise to support the Interlake High School Dance Expectations is very important. Please read the following and acknowledge your commitment by signing below.

“In order to contribute to a positive environment at Interlake High School during dances, I will do what I can to be a role model to other students by promoting appropriate behavior. I will not participate in inappropriate dancing, which can lead to an unsafe and/or uncomfortable environment. Inappropriate dancing is defined as any dancing that simulates sex. This includes excessive bending at the waist and any purposeful contact in areas normally covered by a swimsuit. This involves thrusting, grinding and inappropriate touching. By agreeing to meet these expectations, I will be ensuring a fun and safe event for everyone at Interlake High School.”

To attend any Interlake High School dance, you must have agreed to meet these expectations.
