Dear NCSSM Families,

It is hard to believe that January is over. Quickly approaching is the annual Junior-Senior Prom. The Museum of Life and Science in Durham will be the location of NCSSM's formal on Saturday, March 31. Recognizing this event may require more planning and family discussion, below we have linked all of the information regarding date, location, associated costs, parent volunteers, vehicle procedures, photograph packages and After Prom.

We hope this will be useful to you as you discuss the Prom with your student over the extended weekend. We will also be posting the information on the NCSSM Calendar (you will be able to find the information on the right hand side of the page). If you have any questions please feel free to contact me or the Prom sponsors.

Sincerely,

Kevin Cromwell

Prom Information

Prom here at NCSSM is quite an experience, and the students always seem to have a great time.  We tend to do thinks a little differently at NCSSM prom than most high schools (who is surprised?).  Probably one of the biggest differences is that we hold prom at the Museum of Life and Science here in Durham, and though we have the traditional dancing, the students also have an opportunity to explore the exhibits at the museum.  Many people also take advantage of the butterfly house to get some amazingly beautiful pictures.

Since prom is so quickly approaching, I thought I would take some time to fill you in on all the important details.  Here goes!
Who:  All NCSSM Students
What:  Prom
When: March 31st, 9pm-1am
Where:  Museum of Life and Science, Durham, NC
How: Tickets will be on sale during lunch from 3/12/2011-3/30/2011 and will cost $45 each.  Tickets at the door will cost $50.  Students can pay with cash or check (made payable to SCSSI).
Other Important Details:
-Dress is formal (tuxedo, suit and tie, or evening gown as appropriate)
-Cars are allowed on campus with parental permission under specific guidelines provided by the school
-There is a special overnight permission form for prom weekend that has to be filled out and faxed to me by March 28th if your student plans to be off campus overnight after prom.
-For people who do not want to be off campus after prom, Student Life will provide an after prom lock-in in the PEC with a hot breakfast and lots of fun activities. This is the official school sanctioned after prom activity.  The school does not sanction hotel parties, and if your student wants to attend a hotel or house party after prom, you should speak directly with the parents who will be chaperoning.
-We need parent volunteers to help with set-up, chaperoning, and clean-up for prom, so please contact Natasha Harris at 919-416-2822 if you are interested.
-All students and parents have been emailed a packet of information that has every detail you could ever want to know, and if you did not receive a copy or have misplaced the email, please let me know and I will resend it to you.

That is all the information I have right now about prom, but I will be keeping the students on hall updated regularly and will be going over detailed procedures with them for bringing cars on campus and signing out overnight.  Please let me know if you have other questions or concerns.

Exam Dinner Help

Parents,
Right now, we only have one of the three exam dinners for this month covered.  If you are able and would like to help with one of the two remaining dinners, please emails me and let me know.  The girls would really love to have a good dinner on those stressful days.
Thanks for your willingness to help!

Yearbook Reminder

Just one more reminder that you can buy a yearbook online at https://www.imagequix.com/vando/preorder/strawbridgeYB/login.php?id=NC until March 31st.  They cost $70, and if you order before March 31st, the book is name stamped for free.  Please let me know if you need more information.
