When arriving at the venue, make sure you park in the parking lot across the street and escort your homeschoolers inside. This is not a drop off event. One parent from each family must stay with their homeschoolers at the event to help chaperone. Due to space capacity, we can only allow one adult per family. Parents are also needed to help set up and clean up. However, parents can add an "opt out" fee ($25) and be present during the party only (6:00-8:00) and not help set up and/or clean up. Each parent will be provided with a nametag upon arrival. We will have a sign in and out sheet for all attendees. Homeschoolers will not be permitted to leave without their parent.
This will be a night full of friends and fun, music, dancing, snacks, etc.!!
Tickets purchased in advance will be $20 each (one homeschool tween + one parent [free]). Each additional homeschooler is $20. Homeschoolers paying to attend the event may choose to invite friends. Please feel free to share the signup form so that your friends parents can complete the form and purchase their ticket(s). Advanced ticket sales will continue until space is no longer available, or two weeks prior to the event. No tickets will be sold at the door.
Who can attend?
Homeschoolers ages 8-12ish can attend this dance. This event may be cross listed in various homeschool groups if space permits us to invite other homeschoolers. Chaperones will be present throughout the entire evening. Limited tickets are available due to space capacity at our chosen venue. Make sure you register online and pay for your ticket early!
What kind of food will be served?
Each parent must bring at least one food/drink item to share with the homeschoolers at the event. Snack assignments will be emailed to attendees at least one week prior to the event. Parents do not need to bring snacks for all homeschoolers. Our combined snacks will be enough. Snacks and drinks must be store-bought and individually wrapped. Costs for food are not included in the ticket price. If your homeschoolers have specific food allergies or other dietary needs, please feel free to provide a safe alternative for your homeschooler.
What kind of music will be played?
Current popular music will be played during the party. All songs selected will be clean versions of songs. No songs with vulgar language or explicit content will be played.
Is there a dress code?
Homeschoolers can choose to dress up or dress casually. Dress and appearance at the party is the responsibility of the parents. Please use sound judgement to ensure attire is not offensive or inappropriate. No political or religious content should appear on attire. Our homeschoolers love to dress up! We will have a best costume contest for this one!!
What types of behaviors are prohibited?
All parents and homeschoolers at the event must follow the guidelines of the Sunshine State Secular Homeschoolers at all times. No bullying at all will be allowed. We strive for an environment where all are safe, accepted for who they are, and included in all activities. No destructive behavior of any kind is allowed. Bullying or destructive behavior will result in an immediate removal from the dance/party. Removal or damage of decorations, games, etc. for the event is prohibited and will result in immediate removal from the venue. If a homeschooler is asked to leave the party for these reasons, no refund of ticket purchase will be provided. Our guidelines regarding safety, diversity, and inclusivity apply to all attending the event.
