Dear Parents of Juniors and Seniors,

We are excited for our junior and senior students to attend Prom on Saturday evening from 8:00 - 11:00 PM at the Treefort Music Hall on the corner of Broad Street and Capitol Boulevard in downtown Boise. 

While this is always an exciting time for many students and can be one of the biggest highlights of a student's high school experience, it also comes with some additional concerns and heightened awareness for the safety and well being of all of our students. We wish to keep our kids as safe as possible and to avoid life-changing mistakes that can occur when alcohol and/or drug use happens on Prom Night. Our BK community must work together to make sure this evening is as safe as possible for our kids. Below are three tips that might help make prom night a little safer for everyone.

• Tip #1. Have conversations about expectations all the time—not just at Prom time. If you haven’t already, this is a great time for you to start a regular habit. It is incredibly important that on a regular basis you talk with kids about your expectations about alcohol and drug use. It’s also important to speak with them about refusal skills, decision-making skills, what to do if they find themselves in a risky situation, the dangers of drinking and driving, and so on. It’s never too early to start talking about this with your kids. And it isn’t too late either. When prom and graduation time come around, please have a discussion about these things and make sure your plan and expectations for Prom Night, in particular, are especially clear. 
• Tip #2. Offer safe alternatives for the after-prom party. Some students are spending as much time thinking about their plans after prom as they are about the prom itself. I want to be clear - It is illegal to host a party at your home and allow underage drinking, even if you take everyone’s car keys. Additionally, this undermines other parents and Bishop Kelly. If you are willing and able, offer a fun, safe, alcohol-free party after the prom. Offering a chaperoned party after prom is a great way to make sure your child and others are safe on prom night. If you are going to be out of town on prom night, please make sure another trusted adult will be keeping tabs on your teenager. Leaving your teenager completely unchaperoned on prom night could mean that your child finds him or herself in a very difficult situation that they aren’t prepared to handle. Even if they have the best intentions. 
• Tip #3. Have a plan. Discuss with your teen what they should do if they find themselves in a difficult or dangerous situation. Who can they call for help or a ride if their date or group of friends is drinking? Is there a “safety phrase” your teenager can use to let you know they need you to come and get them? Do you have a set time that your son or daughter needs to check in or be home? Make a plan.

Thank you for partnering with BK to make Prom 2024 safe and fun.
