========================

Victoria trip families:

Your student received a packet of very important papers this week. Make
sure your student hands over the packet so you can review the details of
the trip, get the medical form signed by a doctor, and get forms turned
back in no later than 4/21/17.
There has been some confusion on the white medical form.Even if your
student does not take prescription medications, unless you are a chaperone
and will be with your student on the trip, the rules are a doctor must
approve the dispensation of over the counter medications to minors on such
trips. Please mark which over the counter meds you will allow your student
to have, as needed, and get a doctor's signature. You don't need to make an
appointment, just fill out the form, sign it, and turn it in to the medical
office for review by the doctor.

IMPORTANT DATE: On the Tuesday before the trip, ALL STUDENTS must drop off
their suitcases and folding music stands between 4-8 pm for loading the
truck that will drive instruments, stands, suit cases, trip shirts, snacks,
other supplies we need, up to Seattle and on to Victoria. WE WILL NOT BE
CHECKING LUGGAGE AT THE AIRPORT. Instructions on what to put in suitcase
vs. backpack for first day and a half of the trip are in your packet.

Check out your student's cell phone policies sooner rather than later so
they understand whether they can call or jus text or not use it at all in
Canada. This is important for chaperones to know as well.

Contact your credit card or debit card companies to notify them you will be
traveling in May and change money to Canadian dollars if you want to save
your child the hassle while on the trip. Many meals students are
responsible for buying will be in Washington but some meals will be in
Canada and any souveniers and such will be from Canada likely.

That's it for now folks. Get those packets reviewed and filled out for a
smooth start to the trip!
