To this meeting please bring the following information:
1) Medical Information & Health Forms: required form indicating any health concerns

3) Passport - Please so we can make a photocopy of it for the trip. We will be asking every student to carry a copy of this page and a copy will be kept with the chaperones as well. Please contact us if you require any assistance.
NOTE: Both parents must attend this meeting as we will have a lawyer present to fill out Notary Public forms which give permission for me to take your son or daughter out of the country. Each parent must have 2 forms of ID with them.
Payment & Payment Schedule
A deposit of $500 will be due by June 15th, 2014. By the end of September,it is recommended that all students pay another $500 - $1000. We ask for another $500 by the beginning of December. Each member should meet with Mr. Holmes to discuss this financial schedule, and help students organize timelines to meet these dates. Final cost will be communicated to parents and students as soon as we have it calculated since it will be dependent on final fundraising.
