Q: What’s the attire?
A: This is a casual event – we want kids to be comfortable and to have a fun time. This year’s party theme, selected by Washburne students is “Winter Sports” so if they are up for having fun with it, they can come dressed in their favorite winter sports jersey or ski outfit. If not, whatever they wore to school is fine too!

Q: What is the policy on cell phones and photos?
A: Cell phones and photos are allowed.
Q: Will there be chaperones?
A: Yes, there will be a combination of parents and some staff, but we would appreciate a few more! Here is the link to sign up.
Q: Will there be a code of conduct required?
A: Yes, while not a school-sponsored event, please remind your child to show respect to all students and volunteers. Parents will be contacted to pick up any child that is demonstrating inappropriate behavior.
Q: What if my child has allergies or needs some extra support?
A: Please reach out to us if you have questions or concerns about allergies or extra support for your child. All food items will be kept to the cafeteria. If your child needs extra support, please feel free to join them or sign up as a volunteer. We want every child to feel comfortable attending.
Q: Why should your student attend?
A: The PTO is thrilled to offer the first “dance” that our students have had an option to attend during their middle school years. It will be a memorable hour and a half to have fun with a ton of friends, feel a little awkward (it’s ok!), and make some awesome Junior High memories. We hope everyone can make it!
