Students are expected to display appropriate behaviors throughout the trip including the bus ride and park time.  Students not following this rule will be required to stay with their chaperone under supervision the remainder of the night.

We are looking forward to this AMAZING trip!  Please let me know you if you have any questions or concerns.
