CHS Washington D.C. Trip Next Steps
Attention CHS 8th Grade Parents,
Mr. Abbott and I have been busy planning for our upcoming 8th Grade Trip to Washington D.C. taking place Tuesday, March 14th-Friday, March 17th.
Below are our the next steps:
- Students are going to be asked today during lunch to start thinking about whom they wish to be roommates with.
- On Monday, students will be provided index cards to place the names of 2-4 students they wish to be roommates with. We prefer students note 4 names on the cards. If 4 names are not noted, we will determine what pairs of students are roommates. Students will also be asked to place a star next to their names if they have a parent/guardian attending the trip.
We please need your help with the following:
- Talk to your child about whom they select as roommates. It should not be someone that they are off and on friends with. We WILL NOT change roomates once names are submitted. The groups are provided to the hotel and transportation company and is part of a complex planning process.
- Encourage your child to submit 4 names when requesting roommates.
- Make sure your child communicates with the other students they are noting on the index card.
- Remind your students to continue to make great choices and not do anything that can be in violation of our Trip Behavior Contract.
Specific departure and arrival times will be provided as we get closer to the trip.
Lastly, please contact Mr. Abbott at DavidAbbott@wlcsd.org with the names of parents that you would like to be roommates with.
Thank you and we look forward to a fun educational trip.
Nayal Maktari and Dave Abbott
