Please remember Elm Creek Prom is scheduled for Saturday, April 11th. All students must be academically eligible and cannot be chronically absent to attend. Chronic absenteeism is 10% of school days missed (pg. 84 EC Student Handbook). We are not counting medically verified abscesses towards this. Also due to the number of shirts we order and the number that never get picked up we are no longer paying for prom shirts. If a student and their date want one they can order it at this site. These will be shipped directly to your address. If you have questions let Mr Marquez know.
