For those parents new to the middle school scene, middle school dances are essentially a school social. We try to discourage the kids from asking “dates” or pairing off for these events, and no formal dress is ever required, though the Student Council will sometimes pick an optional fun theme and announce it to their classmates at school. We just want the kids to relax and have fun together!
 
IMPORTANT: for accountability and legal reasons, these dances are open to currently-enrolled American Academy students ONLY.
 
Dances typically take place at the student's own campus, and are chaperoned by their own middle school teachers. Students generally pay a small entry fee and snacks will either be provided or available for a small fee. Please see your Middle School campus webpage or your principal newsletter closer to the date for specific details.
 
Please see the dates and time below, and please plan to be on time to pick up students after the dance. The teacher chaperones are volunteering their Friday evenings so your students can have a safe and fun place to hang out, and they have already put in a full day of teaching prior to setting up, chaperoning and cleaning up the dances. They are certainly very tired and ready to head home so an on-time pick-up is MUCH appreciated!
