Dear Parents:
Your student is cordially invited to join Club ‘10. This social club was originally founded in 1991 at Lamar Jr High by a group of parents who wanted to plan and supervise fun activities for their children. When ARJH opened in the Fall of 2010, we updated our name and transferred all records. Club ‘10 membership is open to any 7th or 8th grade Antoinette Reading Junior High (“ARJH”) student, or 7th or 8th grade traditional home-school student (who does not physically attend a home-school program outside of the home), residing within the ARJH boundaries as established by LCISD. However, Club ‘10 is not sponsored by the school. Since 1991, many parents have stepped forward to keep this tradition going. Hundreds of junior high students have joined Club ‘10 and have shared many terrific memories of past events. The purpose of Club ‘10 is to create safe, fun, and supervised activities for our children by which they can develop healthy social skills. We encourage attendance to all school dances; however, Club ’10 is just another way to supplement with more activities and dances. We feel that parent involvement is essential for the continued success of Club ‘10. We hope that you will volunteer, and we look forward to your participation.
If you choose for your child to join Club ‘10, you and your child will be agreeing to the following guidelines and code of conduct:
Club ‘10 Guidelines and Code of Conduct
(Keep this for future reference.)
Dues are non-refundable. Dues are used to provide for the events, pay for the facilities/venues, food, drinks, music, security, decorations, and door prizes prior to each event.
Club ‘10 does have the opportunity to provide scholarships for those who are unable to cover the membership dues. These scholarships will be awarded to anyone who completes the membership form and is approved by school administration based on need and good behavior.
Club ‘10 invitations will be sent via email to you approximately two weeks prior to each event. Check the website for updates on the dates of dances.
Attendance at Club ‘10 events shall be limited to members of Club ‘10 only. NO GUESTS ALLOWED under any circumstances.
Behavior: Appropriate behavior is expected of all members at all times. No illegal activities such as use of drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes will be allowed. Inappropriate behavior, including but not limited to rowdiness, pushing, shoving, sitting or standing on tables, standing on chairs, dirty/provocative dancing, slam dancing, head banging, making out, sitting on one another’s laps, destruction of decorations or property WILL NOT be tolerated. No fireworks, laser lights/pens or lighters will be brought to events. If a member engages in any inappropriate behavior, parents WILL BE CALLED to pick up their child. If a second offense occurs at another event, the member will be expelled from Club ‘10 and dues will not be refunded. If a serious first offense occurs, parents will be called and membership will be revoked as above. ANY DISRESPECT SHOWN TOWARDS COMMITTEE MEMBERS, CHAPERONES, SECURITY OFFICERS, OR OTHER ADULTS WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE REMOVAL FROM THE EVENT. THIS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE. We know that kids can have fun and still obey the rules – we see it every day.
Parents will be held financially liable for reckless and intentional damage caused by their children. The definition of reckless and intentional damage will be determined by the Club ‘10 committee.
Dress Code: Inappropriate dress will not be tolerated. No offensive language, sayings or pictures on shirts will be allowed. Appropriate undergarments should be worn, BUT NOT SEEN!
Committee members, volunteer chaperones, and at least one security guard will be present at all events to determine what constitutes good judgment and good behavior. Dismissal from an event is at the sole discretion of the Committee.
Upon arriving at each event, members are required to check in with the hostess/host at the entrance. We strongly suggest that valuables be left at home. Please limit the size and number of items brought to events. Committee members are not responsible or liable for any personal items.
Members may bring a non-perishable food item for donation to the local food pantry or donate $1.00, in order to be entered into the drawing for door prizes. Members can only win once per event.
Members must arrive within the first hour of the party. Members will NOT be allowed to leave early during the event unless called for by their parents.
A parent/chaperone will pick up members promptly at specified time. Chaperones will NOT be responsible for members who remain at the party for longer than 15 minutes after the official end of the event as printed on the invitation.
Parent/Guardian will be held fully and completely responsible for any damages caused by their child.
By signing the Club ’10 Waiver Form, Parent/Guardian hereby gives their consent and permission to Club ’10 to take and use photographs and/or digital images of their child for use in Club ’10 related news releases, printed materials and electronic publications. All reproductions are the property of Club ’10 unless authorized by Club ’10 Board Members.
Necessary changes in the Guidelines and Code of Conduct shall be at the discretion of the organizing committee.
Normal precautions will be taken to ensure the safety of all members; however, Club ‘10 assumes no responsibility to liability for injury or loss of personal property. You will agree to release and hold harmless the committee members from any and all legal action.
VIOLATIONS OF ANY OF THE ABOVE RULES WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATION TERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP. NO DUES WILL BE REFUNDED.
