TRIP PERMISSION FORM AND INFO
Lafayette High School Spring Trip Information Sheet Cincinnati, Ohio April 24-25, 2009 Parents and Students: I was hoping to pass this out at our booster meeting on January 27, but due to weather we have had to cancel that meeting twice. This permission form is due on February 24 the same night as our scheduled parent booster meeting at 7:00pm. The students may turn it in during school or you may turn it in at the meeting. I will be able to answer any questions you might have at that booster meeting. Our spring trip this year is to Cincinnati, Ohio. We will be leaving Friday, April 24 and returning Saturday, April 25. The itinerary is attached and consists of attending a concert with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra with famous violinist, Midori performing, a rehearsal for Symphony Orchestra with the Associate Conductor of the Cincinnati Orchestra, and a day at Kings Island. COSTS AND PAYMENTS The student cost for our trip will be $175.00. Included in this cost are transportation, hotel for 1 night, 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, tickets for the symphony concert, and tickets for Kings Island. The chaperone cost for the trip will be $200.00. This is more because of the room being double occupancy instead of quadruple occupancy and tickets cost more for adults. In order to facilitate our group payment for the trip, we have put together the following options for payments: 1) Write a check for the full amount, $175.00 ($200.00 for chaperones), to Lafayette Orchestra. 2) We are glad to put the students (and parents) on a payment plan. The timetable for this plan is listed below: Payment 1: $100.00 February 24, 2009 Non-refundable deposit Payment 2: $75.00 March 13, 2009 Non-refundable *Please note that we are NOT in the business of making the trip unattainable for students or parents and we will work with all families in order to allow the students to participate. Please remember that we are also on a trip payment schedule ourselves for the group. Once the student signs up for the trip, we have to pay for that student whether they attend or not, so all money is non-refundable. If unforeseen circumstances arrive, ex. Sickness, family emergency, etc., you may try and find a replacement for the full or half the cost. The boosters will not refund any money for any reason after March 13, 2009. _____ My student will be attending the spring orchestra trip to Cincinnati from April 24-25, 2009. _____ My student will NOT be attending the spring orchestra trip to Cincinnati from April 24-25, 2009. _____ I would like to attend the spring orchestra trip as a chaperone and will also make a deposit by February 24, 2009 to reserve my spot.
