BYFIELD- Many Triton juniors and seniors have been worried this year about having enough time to get ready for prom. Meeting up with friends to take pictures, making sure makeup and hair is perfect and having just enough time to get to school on time at 4:00 already seems like a stretch with being allowed a dismissal a little after 1:00. After many complaints and harsh opinions threatened to administration, principal Mrs. Dawe and assistant principal Mr. Brennan have decided to make May 10, day of junior prom a full day. Much thought and debate was put into the decision, however administration feels as though we have plenty of time to prepare for prom and it should not interfere with children’s education.

“It was an easy choice to make for me personally because I was getting irritated being asked and asked about the topic of allowing students to leave school as if it were a half day just to get their makeup done. I feel as though students should learn from this,” elaborated Mrs. Dawe, “they should have been grateful being let out at 1:00.”

After speaking to administration exercising the topic, they seemed very reluctant to change back the time and would appreciate greatly if students stopped pestering them on behalf of prom.
