The Homecoming Dance is this Saturday! The dance will take place in the gym from 6:30 until 10:00 pm. If you plan on bringing a non-SDHS student to the Homecoming Dance, you MUST complete an Out of School Guest form and turn it into the front office, with a photo ID of the guest, by 3:00 pm Wednesday, October 8th. Out of School Guest Forms AND Debt Slips are available in the main office.
All SDHS students must complete an “I’m debtless” form to purchase tickets. Tickets for the dance will be on sale during 2nd and 5th periods in the media center, and down by the cafeteria during 4th period beginning TODAY and until Thursday, October 9th. Tickets are 15 dollars in advance, or 20 dollars at the door. If you pre-purchase your ticket, not only will you get a 5 dollar discount, you will also enter through the main doors, bypassing the major line. If you have questions about the dance, see Mr. Thompson in F-1.
