PARKING
Street parking is recommended.
The main parking lot will be blocked off for the event and will be inaccessible for parking. There will be limited spots available for parking at the school.
ATTIRE
We encourage (weather appropriate) beach themed attire for both students and volunteers. For students, please make sure that they have attire suitable for dancing and activity in inflatables. No bathing suits please!
FOOD AND DRINK
No food will be served at the event besides Kona Ice. We will have water stations for students available.
SAFETY
During the event it is expected that all students stay in the party area, and they stay for the entire event. Students found outside of the party area, acting dangerously or causing a disruption to the event will be required to call home and be picked up immediately. This is necessary to ensure everyone’s safety and positive engagement during the event. Thank you for helping us to reinforce this with your child.
Similarly, we want to provide safety for our vendors who are working the event, especially the DJ. Students will be asked to stay a distance away from the DJ booth, and will need to adhere to the designated area for dancing, or will be asked to leave.
