Spring Formal Dance

We will have our Spring Formal on Friday, May 12, 2023 in the school cafeteria from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. Doors for the dance will open at 5:45 p.m. Once the dance is over, all students will move into the gym where their names will be called when their ride arrives to pick them up. No students will be allowed to leave the school walking. All students must be picked up no later than 9:15 p.m. Students who are picked up late may not be permitted to attend future dances.
Please discuss the following with your student. We need your cooperation to make this Spring Formal a success:
1. Admission will be $10.00 at the door. Tickets are being sold in advance.
2. Only Ewing Middle School students and approved guests will be admitted to the dance. A guest permission form is available in the main office or from Ms. Spencer in the media center. Completed forms must be turned in to Mrs. Spencer by Friday, May 5th in order to be considered for approval.
