Yes, a dress or skirt and blouse is the proper attire for the girls. If this is an issue, you may want to wait and register next year.
DO GIRLS NEED A DIFFERENT DRESS OR SKIRT AND BLOUSE FOR EACH CLASS?
No, girls may wear the same dress each week if they like.
DO GIRLS NEED A WHITE DRESS FOR THE LAST CLASS?
No, but we do suggest that the 5th grade girls save their favorite dress for the last night. That is the Parent Program and everyone takes lots of pictures.
CAN GIRLS WEAR THEIR GRANDMOTHER'S WHITE GLOVES?
Yes, that is perfectly fine, but each girl will receive gloves on the first night.
DO GIRLS NEED COWBOY (COWGIRL) BOOTS FOR WESTERN NIGHT?
No. Boots are optional on Western Night.
DO BOYS HAVE TO WEAR A JACKET AND TIE?
Yes, it is required for the boys.
DO MOST 6TH, 7TH & 8TH GRADERS ATTEND THE OPTIONAL BUFFET or DINNER?
Every year about 90% - 95% of the students who attend the cotillion classes attend the dinner.
IF I DON’T SEE MY CHILD’S SCHOOL LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE MAY THEY STILL ATTEND?
Yes, we would love to have any student who wants to attend.
IF MY CHILD IS HOMESCHOOLED WHICH CLASS SHOULD HE/SHE ATTEND?
That is your choice according to which time or day works best for you. Most homeschool students choose to attend with friends from their neighborhood.
IF MY CHILD DID NOT ATTEND IN 5TH GRADE CAN HE/SHE ATTEND IN 6TH GRADE?
Yes, all years can stand alone. But just like any sport or dance, you will learn and understand the more years you attend.
IF MY CHILD DID COTILLION ONCE DO THEY NEED TO EVER ATTEND AGAIN?
That is entirely up to the parents. The subject matter goes into more depth every year as the students get older.
