Washington DC Information for 7th Grade Parents
Hello to all 7th graders and Parents of 7th graders,
Your child will be an 8th grader next year and eligible to go on our Washington DC Trip over MEA weekend from
October 19-21, 2017. This is an optional trip but one that many 8th graders go on since it is so much fun to visit our Capital of Washington DC with their classmates and friends.
We will have an informational meeting on
Thursday, March 9, 2017 from 5-5:30pm in our HUB/Media Center. This is an optional meeting but one that is highly encouraged if you have questions about signing your child up or even if you have already signed your child up. Many 7th graders have already signed up. Those now signing up are getting put on our wait list. If we manage to get about 15-20 more students signed up, then we will be able to get a 2nd touring bus while in DC and then everyone (even wait-listed students) will be able to go on this great trip.
Registration letters went out to all 7th grade families in early December and were also handed out in January to anyone who still wanted the registration information. Students will choose their roommates in May during a FLEX Time with Mr. Moran in his classroom. There is a
Pre-Trip meeting scheduled for Sunday, October 1, 2017 from 4-4:45pm.
You can keep on top of all the Washington DC trip news on our
website.
THANKS and let me know if you have any questions or if I can assist you with anything about our Washington DC Trip.
