Tips for parents/guardians to make sure your student has a positive time at and after prom:
-
Vehicle Safety
Make sure that rules are set around the number of individuals in a vehicle, the names of individuals in the vehicle, and how many students can safely fit inside the vehicle.
-
Set a Curfew
Based on the hours of prom, make sure to establish a fair curfew.
-
Consequences
Make sure that your student understands the consequences of breaking curfew, drinking after prom, and making unhealthy choices.
-
Check in with Them
Check in with your teen through a text or call to ensure that they are safe. Be aware of where they are and who they are with.
