Homecoming Tips and Information

Homecoming Tips

DATE OR GROUP?Students DO NOT have to have a date to go to the dance

Even students who have a date can go with a group

Most groups are mixed with some students who have dates and some who do not

Parents of those in the group can meet to determine dinner plans, transportation and after party plans

Be sure to share phone numbers

Most parents feel more comfortable when they meet their child’s friends’ parents

Homecoming Tips

Dinner Tips

Host a catered dinner for your child’s group

Have everyone contribute money

Have everyone bring a dish for the dinner

Make reservations at a restaurant for your child’s friends

Make them early—there are lots of groups out there!

Pre-order meals if possible

See if there is a set “Homecoming Menu” at the restaurant of choice

Homecoming Tips

Photo Tips

Simple Rules for Dating My Son/Daughter

A simple rule for dating my son: I know how today’s ‘fashionable’ young woman likes to dress. When

my son brings you home to meet us, if there are parts of your clothes that allow parts of your anatomy to show, we will take care of it before you leave. I have an extensive supply of duct tape and super glue. You see, I can’t take the chance of an accident happening when my son’s eyes pop out - he will need them both for medical school.

A simple rule for dating my daughter: If you pull into my driveway and honk, you’d better be delivering a

package, because you’re sure as heck not picking anything up!
