WASHINGTON DC LETTER
August 27, 2013
Dear Parents,
It is time to start preparations for our trip to Washington DC, May 27-30, 2014. The trip is an amazing opportunity for our students. It brings the many facts we have learned all year to life. For that reason I wanted to take a moment and explain a few things to you and your child.
I am estimating the trip to cost students $325.00; the final amount will be unknown until all reservations and the final count of travelers have been determined. A few fundraisers will be offered throughout the year. I do not want financial situations to restrict any student from attending, therefore please take advantage of the fundraisers throughout the year.
If your student is interested in attending the trip please sendin a non-refundable $50.00 payment by September 23, 2013 to reserve your child’s place on our trip. This is necessary to make plans and reservations. Included with this letter is your payment plan for the remainder of the balance. The last payment of $75 will be due on February 21, 2014. The fundraising will be deducted from the total amount owed butall travelers are responsible for the initial $50.00 payment. Thank you for understanding that prompt payments are crucial for the organization of this trip.
If your student decides not to attend after the initial payment was made you will not get the non—refundable $50.00 back. This trip is paid for solely by those attending. This means if your child backs out and there have already been tickets, hotel expenses, meals or transportation paid for you are responsible for your portion of those costs. Please understand that means you may not be reimbursed the amount you have paid up to date of cancellation. In some cases you may owe a balance for what has been purchased. After all those costs have been taken care of you will be reimbursed any overpayment.
Many parents are interested in attending, so if that applies to you please send in your own $50.00 non-refundable deposit by September 23, 2013 and we will reserve your seat too. The adult trip will be approximately $400.00 this year. Adult payment plans are included with this letter too.
This trip depends on responsible decisions by all students to be successful, therefore, behavior will be watched throughout the year andI will have all power to deny participation on the trip for any infraction to the school rules throughout the entire school year. I am positive we should have no problems but want to make you aware this trip can be denied if your child chooses not to obey school rules.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me at[email protected]or call the school at 419-929-1586. I love this trip and enjoy exploring the capitol with my eighth graders!J
Mrs. Hudberg
