Washington DC Trip Update

Greetings 8th Grade Families signed up for the Washington DC trip.

On behalf of trip sponsor, Mr. Radcliffe, this communication was sent out. If for some reason it did not get to you, please reach out to Mr. Radcliffe. See his note below:

“Good Morning,

We have had some questions regarding next spring’s Washington, D.C. trip, so I thought I would share an update with everyone to let you know where we are and what happens next.

I have reached out to our contact at Worldstrides, Ashly Barlow. She is currently in the process of finalizing our itinerary and should be sending that to me before winter break. As soon as I receive the actual itinerary, I will be sure to email it out to everyone.

After we return from winter break, we can start looking at room assignments. We typically allow students to pick who they room with, but all room assignments are subject to review by Mr. Rummel and Mrs. Fayad. 

We will be having another meeting in the spring as the trip gets closer to go over reminders about what to pack and what to expect on the trip. This meeting will most likely be at the end of April and typically last about a half hour. Right after this meeting, I will meet with the parents who are going on the trip with us to go over the expectations for chaperones.

As always, If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. My email is radclij@dearbornschools.org.”
