Arrival Process on Tuesday morning You can start arriving at 5:30 that morning, you must be checked in prior to 6:30 am. Drop your child off in the bus parking lot next to the gym. Your child should come in the gym and have his/her bag checked. We will have them unzip all pockets, etc. Yes we are looking for items they shouldn’t have with them. Once their bag is checked they will get a tag for their bag. We will take their bags and they should have a seat in the gym. Bags will be checked by the students bus number. They will find out their assigned bus number on the Monday afternoon before the trip. If you are going to walk in with your student, please don’t park in the bus parking lot. You will need to park in the lot in front of the 6th grade classrooms.

Medical Paperwork All medical forms will be given out in the small group sessions that will follow. If your child is taking any prescription medication at home you will need to get a doctor’s authorization if that medication is to be taken on the trip. If your child is taking a prescription medication at school we already have a doctor’s authorization. Your doctor should also indicate on the form whether your child should self-medicate or if a chaperone on the trip should give the medication. TODOS los medicamentos serán objeto de seguimiento para el cumplimiento de la política en la mañana de salida.

Medical Paperwork If your child is going to take any over the counter medication, you should attach a note to the medication bottle that clearly indicates the dosage and times your child should take the medicine. Your child should only take the amount of the medicine that they will need while on the trip. So they shouldn’t take a whole bottle of Advil, only the amount they would need for the three days.
