Information to know:
Leave: 7:00 am

Busses will be located on the north side of the building. Arrive at school and go to the cafeteria. As you arrive please check in with your homeroom teacher and then sit at tables with your homeroom. You won't be allowed to go upstairs, so anything that you need should be brought with you in the morning.
Doors will open at 6:45
We will not stop for lunch, so bring a lunch along. We will eat that at the location
We will not stop for potty breaks on the way home. Please use the restroom before we leave, regardless of if you don't think you have to.
You may want to bring a snack along for the ride down and/or back.
Cell Phones: You MAY bring a cell phone along. HOWEVER, the purpose of bringing your cell phone along is so you can contact your parents when we are getting close to home so you can get a ride. There are very tight restrictions on what can, and can't be done with your cell phones.
