Grand March & Prom

Grand March/Prom is a school function held on June 21, 2025. It is an opportunity for parents to see their children dressed in their finery. There are lots of photo opportunities as students arrive at the school, walk the red carpet, and march through the gym. A reminder to students that if anyone drives recklessly at the Grand March, or is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, they will not be allowed to go to Prom.

Parent/Guest Parking
ìWe will have limited parking available at William A. Fraser Middle School, and of course you can find parking on the streets. The parking stalls out front of the school will be reserved for Grad vehicle parking after they have been dropped off at the red carpet.  Parents should plan on arriving in advance of the red carpet arrival which will begin at 3:45 pm.

Red Carpet Arrival- 3:45 pm 

ìStudents walk the red carpet as they arrive at 3:45 pm

Please note:
There is a new route this year.  Entry will be off of McMillan by the Curling Rink. Cars will proceed behind ARC and the Yale and will loop around to the front of the school.  See photo of new route below.

ìIf grads are driving themselves, they should arrange to have a driver depart with the vehicle so Grads can walk the red carpet.
 

3:45-4:15 pm Mingle & Take Photos
ìFeel free to wander and take your own photos with family & friends in and around the school.

4:30 pm Grads Assemble for our Grand March
ìStudents will assemble in line near the Main Street Cafe entrance to the gym. The Grand March begins at 4:30 pm. You will enter the large gym walking in a S-like pattern. You, your friends, and any Prom guests will walk this route once as your family and friends watch with pride from the gym bleachers. After the second walk, you can take a quick bathroom break in the B wing washrooms, and then make your way to your assigned bus that is waiting for you at the front of the school.

5:30 pm Load Buses for Prom
ìLoad buses at the front of the school. Make sure you know your bus number ahead of time.
ìBus Lists will be posted in advance.

10:45 pm Buses Arrive from Prom at Yale
