All students should have the information that was distributed at the parent meeting on Feb. 5. Please ask for a copy if you do not have one. I do not have a digital copy to post for you. Here are a few of the important details:

Arrive at school at 5:30 A.M. on the day of your departure. That's Monday for trip 1 and Wednesday for trip 2 students. We will depart as soon as everyone has boarded and all supplies are loaded (around 6:00 A.M.)

We will return to school at 7:00P.M. on Wed. for trip 1 and Fri. for trip 2. Keep in mind that we cannot control the traffic and that is an estimated arrival time.

There are DVD and VHS tape players on our motor coaches and student are encouraged to bring (acceptable) videos from home for everyone to enjoy. Please make sure that your name is on your video so it can be returned to you and give it to the bus chaperones on the morning of your departure.

Do not bring food; unless you have special dietary needs and you have checked with me in advance. Food is not allowed in the rooms. A snack will be provided at our rest stop going to and returning from Jekyll. There is a canteen for purchasing snack foods and the regular meals at Jekyll are varied and filling.

Please try to mark all of your belongings and do not bring valuable things. Old, comfortable, clothes are fine and preferred. Dress for the weather and plan for layers. A cap is a good idea. Remember to bring your sleeping bag or bed linens and your pillow. A complete suggested packing list is available in the handout.

Your rooms will not be locked during the day and you will not be allowed to have any electronics with your during classes. Leave those cell phones, iPods, electronic games, etc. at home and have fun making new friends.
