Guest Permission Form

Guest Form Link: Homecoming 2024 Dance Guest Permission Form HERE.docx.pdf

• ALL dance guests MUST be currently classified as a high school student (grades 9-12) or a graduate. Middle school students are not permitted to attend this dance. If a guest is not currently attending high school, the age limit to attend is 20.
• If the outside guest STILL attends a public or private high school, they must take the guest form below to THEIR school administrator and they will sign the form. If the form is completed BY THAT SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR, West Port students CAN bring this form with them to purchase a ticket. Out-of-county, or out-of-state guests CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN A HIGH SCHOOL CAN have a school administrator complete this form electronically and email it to me directly at sarah.jacobs@marion.k12.fl.us. The school administrator MUST send it to me using their school email address and they may sign the form electronically with a digital signature or scan a copy of the form with an actual signature.
• If West Port students want to bring a guest to the HOCO Dance that is NOT currently enrolled in a public or private high school, they MUST complete the guest permission form and return to Mrs. Jacobs in enough time to get approval to purchase a ticket by October 4th. This includes students enrolled in FLVS or other online credit programs.
• If your guest is NOT in high school, they must complete an online volunteer form as well as complete this guest form. Go to the MCPS main website, click on Departments, then Safe Schools, and lastly Volunteer. Complete that online form and drop off this paper guest form, along with a copy of the guest’s ID, and the approval confirmation email from Safe Schools to Mrs. Jacobs in 5-101. It generally takes less than five days to receive the approval.
• Homeschooled students ZONED FOR West Port High School MUST also complete the GUEST form and have the guidance office sign for approval that they meet the GPA requirements and are ZONED for WPHS.
• If a student is homeschooled and NOT zoned for West Port High School, they must have a West Port student submit the form just like all other outside guests and must have verification of their grade level and GPA and then wait for approval.
• MTI Students ZONED for WPHS will take the guest form and have it completed by an administrator at MTI and get approval from Ms. Neal before purchasing tickets online.
• Guest forms are due by Tuesday, October 1st.
• The LAST day to purchase a ticket is October 4^th by 3:40 pm.
