8th Grade Activities

While $50 is the suggested amount, any amount you can give is very much appreciated.  Donations are voluntary and do not cover the cost of the Jr. Grad Night tickets (see below for Jr. Grad Night info).

A donation is not required for your student to participate in 8th Grade Bash and Sugar & Slice. Eligibility is based on your 8th grader meeting the Culmination Requirements provided by Walter Reed Middle School.

Tickets must be purchased separately for Jur Grad Nite at a cost of $140.

Refund Policy: No refunds so please check your child's eligibility. 

The cost of one ticket is $140 and includes admission for 1 student as well as transportation to and from Magic Mountain.  Students can NOT use season passes to participate in Jr Grad Nite. You must purchase a Jr. Grad Nite ticket. 

Students must meet Culmination Requirements in order to be eligible to attend. Grad Nite eligibility is based off the 10-week report card due 3/20/26.

• Exclusive hours for Jr. Grad Night are 6PM – 12AM with 8th grade students from multiple schools attending this event.  
• Students may purchase food/drink/souvenirs from the concession stands throughout the park using their own money. The park does NOT accept cash. Students must have a credit card or Apple Pay in order to make purchases. They do have kiosks that convert cash to pre-paid debit cards if needed.
• Students will be placed in groups alphabetically with an approved parent or staff volunteer who will be available to the students if needed. These groups are for the purpose of organization and students do not need to stay with these groups at the park.
• Students will be allowed to roam freely within the park, with departure time at 11:30 PM.
• 8th grade students attending this event must be Walter Reed Middle School students and must ride the bus to and from Magic Mountain. No friends or siblings are allowed to attend.

• REFUNDS AND CANCELLATIONS:

  - No refunds after April 3, 2026 if your child is unable to attend for any reason, as we cannot get a refund from the park. In the past, students have wanted tickets at the last minute and have been able to purchase the tickets from families who have had to cancel last minute.
