Big Plans for the Big Apple!

We are excited to announce a 4-day trip to New York City in November.
Trip highlights include two Broadway musicals, a backstage tour of iconic Radio City Music Hall, a visit to the World Trade Center Memorial and to of Lower Manhattan.
REGISTRATION AND COSTS
The trip cost of $550 includes a stipend for all meals, coach transportation, all entrance fees, tickets for both shows, full suite accommodations, and a souvenir sweatshirt.
To register, students must obtain a contract, take it home and have it signed by the parent or guardian. The contract must be returned with a $275 deposit. The contract contains specific information about financial assistance. Trip registration closes on April 7.
The balance will be paid in at the start of the school year next August.
Contracts are available in room 216

CHAPERONES
We very much need parents to join us on the trip. The chaperone cost is $550. This fee includes everything except meal stipends. Chaperone accommodations are based on double occupancy. You can indicate on the returned contract if you would like to be a chaperone and you will be contacted
CONDUCT EXPECTATIONS
Our trips are created for the well-behaved majority of students at PS.
To assure safety, we expect students to show a willingness to cooperate fully with adults without debate and we demand students act in a mature manner. Students who cannot do these things pose a risk to themselves and others and therefore may not attend the trip.
Being sent out of class is a clear signal that the expected cooperation is lacking. We allow our students to learn from a mistake, but repetitive misbehavior will cause students to lose their privilege to attend. The contract spells out our explicit conduct expectations.
ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS
Please consult the contract for the detailed academic requirements for the trip.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
A limited pool of private donations is available to help students. We spread these resources to help as many students as we can. The contract outlines the process for requesting assistance. The amount of award is based on the number of requests. In the past, this has averaged between $100 and $200
