You will not receive a physical ticket for Prom. Your name will be put on a list of registered Prom attendees. You and your guest will need to show an ID (student ID, driver's license, or state ID) at check-in to verify that your name is on the list. 

You may contact Mrs. Hoening-Coyl (shoeningcoyl@d211.org) and Mrs. McCloseky (smccloskey@d211.org) in the Social Studies to be put on a waitlist. Being put on the waitlist does not guarantee a ticket to Prom. Priority will be given to Palatine High School students.

You may receive your money back if your ticket can be re-sold to a student on the waitlist. If there are no students on the waitlist to buy your ticket, you will not receive any money back. 

No, all ticket transfers must go through Mrs. Hoening-Coyl and Mrs. McCloskey. Please inform them as soon as possible that you will no longer be attending Prom so they can try and re-sell your ticket to someone on the waitlist. Any student who is not on the list of registered Prom attendees will not be admitted to Prom.

Please contact Mrs. Hoening-Coyl and Mrs. McCloskey with your specific dietary restriction and you may be accommodated. Accommodations are not guaranteed.
