BUS: We are going to need some parents to volunteer to car pool together, at least for the trip down, as the bus is only a 56 passenger and we have 42 students and 4 staff members, leaving only 10 open seats for the ride there. |
1.) Only 5th grade children are allowed on the trip. ABSOLUTELY NO other children allowed on the 5th grade trip. This is ABC School field trip policy for every school field trip and is strictly enforced. Students MUST ride the bus there and can be signed out at the close of the trip.
2.) Chaperones are expected to be chaperones and the rule of thumb for chaperone behavior on the trip is this : If you can't do it on campus, you can't do it on this trip. So, please remember the chaperone agreement that you will have signed before the trip. According to the Jessica Lunsford Act and for the safety of all students, ALL chaperones/parents attending MUST pass a background check. 3.) We stay together as a group to explore the Magic Kingdom except when a break to venture on your own is specified. You may explore the waterpark at your leisure. 4.) Please remember this is NOT a family vacation, but rather a bonding opportunity for your 5th grade child and their classmates. Please follow the lead of the teachers so you and your child get the full experience of this trip that has been well thought out and strategically planned. |
