1. Students travel with teachers from KISD Junior High Schools and their campus sponsor
2. A KISD administrator travels with the students (sometimes more than one)
3. The trip is ONLY open to current KISD seventh graders
4. Ladies and Gentlemen are separated in hotels - usually, they are on different floors
5. Bed checks are done each night - that includes a VISUAL head count of the four occupants of each room
6. Night monitors are placed in each hotel hallway to prevent unauthorized people from entering or leaving the area.
Who is Close Up?
WCJH Sponsor - Mrs. Hill
Chaperone:
My responsibility as the sponsor is to answer all of your questions, and travel with your child. For every ten paid students, a WCJH teacher is added as a chaperone. Teachers are on a separate professional learning and development course than the students. I am available to your child via text message at all times. Prior to the trip, parents will have my cell phone number.
A little about myself:
I have been an 8th-grade social studies teacher at WCJH for the last 7 years. I have sponsored Close Up student trips for the past 6 years. I am the mom of 3 college aged kids (2 sons who have graduated form college a daughter who is a senior at St. Edwards University). I live in Sealy with my husband.
