Security will not search vehicles; however, if security believes there is the presence of drugs or alcohol in the vehicle or that someone in the vehicle is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the vehicle will be detained and the parents of ALL students in the vehicle will be contacted.  Note: If security believes there is the presence of drugs or alcohol in the vehicle or that someone in the vehicle is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, every one in the vehicle will be refused entry to the dance.
6. Parents will be asked to come to the school and pick the students up. No suspensions will be issued.
7. Should the vehicle not remain at the school as requested, the RCMP will be contacted and we will make contact with as many parents as possible.
8. When students enter the school, there will be random testing using alcohol strips.
