Middle Grades Parents,
With our middle school field trips quickly approaching during the week of February 9th, we would like to invite parents of participating middle grades students to an information session on Tuesday, January 27th, from 4:15–5:00 p.m. in Ledbetter Commons at Thatcher Hall.
During the meeting, we will review important trip details, including departure and arrival times, hotel accommodations, planned attractions, as well as our policies and procedures. We will also be happy to answer any last-minute questions you may have.
If you are unable to attend in person, no worries—notes and handouts from the meeting will be emailed to all families later that afternoon.
