Please READ! Important info about this weekend's trip to Disneyland 🤩
Families of Del Norte 12th Graders –
We are excited to be taking over 200 seniors on Saturday, March 30th. Please read the following with your student, as it contains important information regarding our departure, behavior expectations, and return home. If a student breaks school or park rules during this trip, parents/guardians will be contacted and may be required to pick the student up from Disneyland. To prevent this, please take the time to review all information with your student prior to the trip.
Departure from DNHS to Disneyland:
Students are required to ride the bus to and from Disneyland. Students will choose their bus on the morning of the trip.
Students will need to arrive at DNHS no later than 7:00am. The buses will depart at 7:20am sharp and will not wait for late students.
There will be adult chaperones on each bus.
On the bus, chaperones will hand each student their ticket. They will need this ticket to get into the parks. At this time Disneyland is requiring that all field trip attendees remain in one park until 11:00am. Therefore, DNHS students and chaperones will begin their day in the Disneyland park. Beginning at 11:00am, all students and chaperones will be allowed to park hop.
Expectations While in the Park and On Bus:
As representatives of DNHS, we expect our students to act in a respectful, responsible manner. We want students to have a great time with their classmates, but please be aware that the park is not exclusively ours that day.
All PUSD rules of student discipline will also be enforced. Illegal substances and paraphernalia, weapons, alcohol, etc. will not be allowed on the buses and in the park. Any students caught abusing this policy will forfeit their ticket, losing the privilege of attending for the day, and parents will be notified immediately to come pick up their senior. Appropriate authorities may also be contacted. A lapse in student judgment could also result in not being able to participate in upcoming senior activities, including graduation.
Please visit https://disneyland.disney.go.com/park-rules/ for a complete list of Disneyland’s prohibited items and activities.
At this time, it is predicted to rain. We recommend that all students dress accordingly for maximum comfort. As a reminder, trip tickets are non-refundable, as Disneyland tickets were purchased and buses were booked based on your trip purchase.
There will be one mid day check in from 2:00-2:30 pm. Students will be responsible for checking in (in person) with their assigned chaperone at the designated place and time. No exceptions!
Students will be given their chaperone’s cell phone number to use for emergencies.
Departure from Disneyland to DNHS:
Students must check in and board the SAME bus they arrived in at 10:15 pm. Students should allot for tram time and crowds, which will take at least 30 minutes. The buses will depart at 10:30 pm sharp.
Any students not checked in will receive a phone call and their parents will be contacted. Each bus will not depart until every student is accounted for.
Students will return on the same bus, and the same adult chaperones will accompany the students on that bus back to DNHS.
Arrival Back to School
Anticipated return time to DNHS is between 12:00 - 12:15 am.
If students are being picked up, we will remind them to make the appropriate calls/texts when we are approximately 20 minutes from DNHS.
It is always our hope to provide fun, memorable, and safe activities to commemorate this milestone year. This event is anticipated to be just that. As always, we appreciate your support with all our activities. Please feel free to contact me directly at jemitchell@powayusd.com with additional questions.
