We hope everyone is getting excited and is ready to depart for DC on Wednesday. Please make sure to look at the "forms tab" where you will find all needed information including a packing list!
We have had a few questions and concerns regarding the Corona virus and I have mentioned that UCPS is closely looking at the fluid situation. Also Orange Sky Travel is closely working with their partners in DC to ensure things are monitored. Any trip changes would be conveyed through a Connect Ed to all 8th grade parents. I ask that everyone is patient and prepared for any changes. Please know that we are working and monitoring the situation very closely. We have also continued to convey that it is incredibly important to continue good cleanliness and hygiene as we're also concerned about common viruses like flu. We have had several recent cases in our area and the risk remains high; we need to be diligent with respect to any and all illnesses.
Here are a few things to keep in mind as trip day prepares:
1. Please make sure you also know about our primary communication mode for DC. We generally use twitter. Our trip twitter feed is @dcmavs2020 and we will generally use the #dcmavs2020 to post all of our pics of the trip.
2. Please be sure to check our weebly site: www.mrmsdc2020.weebly.com for trip updates prior to the trip.
3. Please make sure students arrive between 5-5:30 am. It is always good to get to the school earlier as the car rider line becomes long. We will begin letting students in the front of the building at 5:00 am. Students will see a sign with their bus location and they should report to their bus location and wait for their chaperone to check them in. Buses will leave promptly at 6:00 am.
Bus 1-4 (MRMS Main Gym)
Bus 5-6 (MRMS Cafeteria)
Buses 7-8 (MRMS Pit)
Buses 9-10 (MRMS Library)
4. Please use the car rider drop-off location. DO NOT USE THE BUS LOT AS YOU WILL IMPEDE OUR BUSES FROM ARRIVING AND CHECKING IN. If you want to walk your child in, please park your car in a space down in the team time area and walk them up to the front of the school.
5. Please make sure that your child packs with layers. Some days will be cool and some mild. There is also a chance of rain on Friday with a temperature of over 70 degrees. We tour rain/shine so please make sure they are prepared.
We hope everyone is ready for a great trip and we look forward to creating many memories together.
