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.
