The D.C. Digest

Curtis Goes to Washington in 4 days!
Dear families,
I cannot believe we are just 4 days away! Thank you for your generous donations of snacks and water. There is a great variety of treats for students to choose from, and they will have treats for end-of-year events, too. Students had their final orientation on Tuesday and I linked a printable packing list for them in Schoology. You can access it here.
Today students met their chaperone and received an L-S bag and their t-shirts. As a reminder: Tue.= Blue, Wed.= Red, Thu.= Purple, Fri.= Green (I told the students the first 3 abbreviations rhyme with the colors to help them remember.) Students should be wearing the blue shirt to school. Students are not required to use the bag, but we ask that they bring it just in case.
On Tuesday, drop off is at 6:15am. Please use the regular drop off route, and do not leave your vehicle so the process can run swiftly and smoothly. The photo below shows the route in case you are not familiar with it.
See you on Tuesday!!
Lauren

Unanswered Questions
The following questions were not addressed in the slides or the presentation:
Q: Will the Goosechase app be sent out in advance? I have locks on my daughters ability to download apps without my permission and it takes a few steps to download items, with my password.
A: You can download the app in advance onto your child's phone. If they are not the captain, they can remove it later.
Q: What is the nut policy for snacks/food brought from home? Are students allowed to have nut products in their hotel room if none of the roommates have an allergy?
A: Snacks containing nuts may be brought from home if no roommate has an allergy in a particular hotel room. However, they MUST be packed in the main piece of luggage to be stored under the bus. No food containing nuts will be allowed in the passenger section.
