Greetings Boosters,

 

The Music Department's Spring Trip is next week.  I'm forwarding a request for support from Mr. Burke.  Please note that there is a Parent Meeting Tuesday, 16 April.  I don't know the location yet due to some scheduling conflicts at the school but I will forward that information when it is available.  As always, please help the Music Department where you can.

Parents of the Music Department Spring Trip,

 

The trip is next week, and we need your help!

 

1)     If you have any concerns/questions or information you need to let your student's chaperone know at the meeting next Tuesday

 

2)    We need parents to help search luggage Tuesday night/Wednesday during the day. If you have some time, please send me an email. The search is much less about illegal items, and more about having the things they need (toiletries, clothes that fit school policy, etc.).

 

3)     We need parents to help load luggage/search bags on Wednesday afternoon. We take the searched luggage and put it on the bus for the kids, so that they cannot add anything last minute.

 

4)    We need parents to search the students carry–on before we leave. The last thing we do is an airport –TSA type search of their stuff before they get on the bus. Again, this is less about illegal items and more parent advice –don't do anything stupid kind of search.

 

The more parents, the better. Thank you in advance.
