Islands of Adventure

May 1, 2014

The cost of the trip is $115 ($125 for adults) and will cover the cost of the bus, park entrance, and the 5^th Grade T-shirt.  We will first offer seats on the bus to 5^th grade students who are eligible to attend.  We realize parents will want to attend and will allot additional seats to them, in a “lottery-style” drawing if the number of parents requesting to ride the bus exceeds the number of seats available.  Any parent who cannot, or does not wish to, ride the bus is welcome to drive a private vehicle.  Please note that your child CANNOT ride in the car with you.  Parents who do not wish to ride on the bus will pay a reduced rate of $76 (park entrance and t-shirt).

All money must be in the form of a Cash, Cashier’s Check, or Money Orders….

We are unable to accept Personal Checks!

The price of this trip represents expected costs.  In the event of additional funds being raised, the money will be applied to the total cost of the trip.  We cannot, however, guarantee how much that would be.  We would publish the reduction prior to the final installment of the payments and reduce that payment if possible.

The payment schedule will be as follows:  October 28^th (3:30-5:30)

December 18^th (7:45-8:15 and 12:45-1:15) February 10^th (3:30-5:30)

March 12^th (7:45-8:15)

5^th grade teachers will set up a payment station in room 600 (Mrs. Rioux) and accept payments during these times.  You may either choose to pay the entire cost of the trip during one of the scheduled dates or choose to pay portions of the cost during several of the scheduled payment dates.  Please be reminded that you must pay with either cash, a Cashier’s Check, or Money Order, as we will not be accepting Personal Checks.

Details concerning departure times, arrival times, rules, and “what to pack” will come in another letter distributed prior to the trip.  Please be aware that our fees DO NOT include meals.  The bus will NOT make any meal stops.  Children will have the option to bring snacks and/or purchase food in the park…and, again, we will provide more details and suggestions closer to our trip.

Refunds will not be given at any time two-weeks prior to the event unless there are extreme extenuating circumstances.  Not showing up on time to meet the bus is not an extenuating circumstance.

Absolutely NO SIBLINGS under the age of 18 can accompany us on this trip. All adults on this trip must complete a Leon County Volunteer form and have their identification run through our system.

All students are required to ride to and from the park on the bus.

Any financial questions/concerns you have should be fielded through your child’s homeroom teacher.

**Attendance, academic performance, and conduct will be critical in order to participate.  Students may not have any referrals for major offenses.  The principal will review these criteria for each child to determine eligibility prior to departure.
