⚠️ IMPORTANT: Family File & Obligations

Before a student can receive a Homecoming ticket, their Family File must be completely updated for the current school year. This must be completed every year, even if you completed the Family File in a previous school year.

Please see the Dance FAQ for directions on how to update your Family File.

Students should also make sure they do not have any outstanding obligations that could prevent them from purchasing a ticket.  

To help students get ready, we will have a check-in opportunity during lunches on:

Guest tickets MUST be purchased in person. We need to verify that all required guest paperwork has been completed and turned in before a guest ticket can be issued. Guest tickets will not be distributed through online ticket sales.

πŸ›οΈ Help Support Homecoming!

We also have an Amazon Wish List with items that will help us make Homecoming a fun and memorable event for our students. If your family would like to contribute, you can view the list here:

Homecoming Amazon Wish List

Every contribution, big or small, is greatly appreciated and helps us create a special Homecoming experience for our students!

❀️ Want Another Way to Support Homecoming?

We will also be looking for chaperones to help support the Homecoming Dance. If you are interested in volunteering your time and being another part of making the evening a success, please keep an eye out for more information. Details about chaperone opportunities will be shared at a later date.

Thank you for helping us make sure your student is prepared and able to enjoy Homecoming! Taking care of the Family File, obligations, date/guest paperwork, and other requirements early will help make the ticket purchasing process as smooth as possible.

We look forward to celebrating with our students and families on October 17!
