8th Grade Washington D.C. Trip INFORMATION!

Dear 7th Grade Guardians,

The annual 8th Grade Washington D.C. Field Trip has launched! Washington D.C. serves multiple purposes of researching and engaging in civic and government-related activities. Students will visit civic landmarks and view original documents of democracy. They will better understand the history, structure, purpose, and processes of the U.S. government and important persons in governmental history. The trip occurs November 5 - 8, 2025. I invite 7th grade families to register and review the DC Trip below. Registration closes before summer vacation starts and reopens next school year if spots are available.

This year there is a wait list for parent chaperones. I believe we will be able to have as many guardians that would like to join but we must first accommodate student demand. Please scan the QR code for pricing and read carefully through the Powerpoint Parent Meeting details. As the date approaches, there will be an in-person meeting to go over more details at GATE. All parent Chaperones are legally required to go through background checks as well as complete Fingerprinting services with ISCAN. More details will be sent out to those "Parent Chaperones" who join us in the near future.

Thank you for your continued support.
