We want every student to have the opportunity to attend their class trip. Fundraising opportunities will be available for those who may find the cost to be a barrier.

We will be sending home additional information throughout the year, including a detailed itinerary, packing list (if necessary), and permission slip. If you have any questions or concerns, or if you would like more information about fundraising opportunities, please contact your student’s homeroom teacher.

Please note that any student with 3 or more days of Out of School Suspension (OSS) during the 2nd semester will not be permitted to attend the class trip. Any class trip payments paid by these students will not be refunded.
