Winter Formal is this Saturday night, and we need your help again to ensure that our dances continue to be safe, appropriate and fun for the students. Please read the information below regarding Winter Formal, and consider volunteering to chaperone. You may contact the PTSA president, EvaMarie Morris, at ptsahelp@aol.com to get more information regarding being a chaperone for the dance.
A chaperone dinner will be provided at the venue from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Chaperones will be given a short tour of the facility beforehand and will be given an opportunity to ask any questions they may have before beginning their duties.

“Around the World in 80 Days” Winter Formal Dance
Saturday, Jan. 10
7 p.m. to 11 p.m.
South Mesa NCO Club, Camp Pendleton
Parents should consult carefully the student dress code for the Winter Formal dance that is given in this email. Students not meeting dress code standards will not be allowed entry into the dance.
Please note: students who are unsure if their attire meets dress code standards should check the pictures on the school website at alisoniguel.com or see their assistant principal prior to the day of the event. Students not meeting dress code standards will not be admitted into the event.
Parents should remind their ANHS student that a current 2008 – 2009 Aliso Niguel picture I.D. card is the only form of I.D. that will be accepted for entry into the dance. Students who have lost their I.D. cards should obtain one through Ms. Nakazawa in the ASB clerk’s office in the food court.
Please take note of some of the policies that will be enforced at the dance below. There is a copy of the dance contract that must be read, signed and understood by students attending the dance and their parents available at alisoniguel.com in the activities section.
ANHS Students may bring a guest to the Winter Formal so long as the guest is a current Capistrano Unified School District high school student in good standing. A guest pass may be obtained from the front office, in the ASB clerk’s office or at alisoniguel.com in the activities section. A guest pass must be completed for any guest to be considered for attending the dance. No guests from high schools outside of Capistrano Unified will be considered; no exceptions will be made. No middle school students or high school graduates may attend the Winter Formal; no exceptions will be made.
