The Party Registry is a service provided to parents and families (grades four through seven) as a planning tool. The Party Registry maintains a listing of planned parties (those scheduled a year or more in advance) in order to ensure that parties do not overlap and to confirm that children will have a chance to attend parties to which they have been invited. The Registry maintains a calendar of Dalton family parties – without name attribution - so that date conflicts are minimized. Parents planning a child’s party a year or more in advance are encouraged to register the date with the Party Registry to avoid conflicts.
