Halloween Dance
We’ll need volunteers before, during, and after the dance, with plenty of different ways to help. [Sign up here to volunteer.] As a thank-you, any student whose parent or guardian signs up to help will earn 20 Jaybucks!
No Tricks. Just Beats.
Friday, October 16
6–8 PM
Julian students only
What Parents Need to Know:
Before the Dance
Dinner will not be served. Please have students eat beforehand. Snacks, candy, and drinks will be available.
Costumes are encouraged, but not required. D97 costume guidelines apply. No inflatable costumes or backpacks, please.
School ID + event wristband are required for admission. Phones will be checked in upon arrival and returned at departure.
Sensory-calm time: 5:30–6 PM. Chill-Out Zones will also be available throughout the dance for students who need a break.
Keeping the Night Safe and Fun
School behavior expectations apply. Misbehavior = Music stops and lights turn on! No in-and-out privileges, the field is off-limits, and food and drinks must stay in the Commons. Parents will be contacted for early pickup if expectations aren't met.
Our goal is simple: great music, friends, fun, and a safe night for everyone!
We Need Chaperones!
Does your middle schooler NOT want you to chaperone? Maybe that's exactly why you should!
Seriously, we are expecting nearly 500 students to attend. A safe and successful dance takes a village. Please consider volunteering. Your student earns 20 Jaybucks when you do!
All chaperones need a current D97 background check, which expires every three years. To verify your status, call 708-524-3000. It can take up to two weeks to update your expired status, so please don't delay!
Here is our Signup Genius link, again. See you there.
Tricks are for Halloween. Kindness is for Julian.

Harvest Fest Dance
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
