Prom Night Tips for Parents
(tips from The Century Council and ASCA)

• Work with the school to have food served during prom. (taken care of)
• Know all the hot spot destinations.
• Take stock of the alcohol in your home.
• Know who is driving -- if it's a limo, check their policy on allowing alcohol in the vehicle.
• Discuss the school's prom rules with your child and the consequences for violating them. (fcps rules apply)
• Encourage seatbelt use -- the best accessory!
• Do not rent hotel rooms for prom-goers.
• Communicate with the other parents and school officials.
• Stay up for prom-goer's return home.
