Two options are available for purchasing OPTIONAL Travel Insurance.  While the insurance is optional, we do highly suggest you purchase insurance to guard against loss of funds due to unforeseen circumstances.  Insurance is offered by Travel Insured. 

There are TWO options for insurance.  They have different fees and different due dates:

1. Basic Insurance - can be purchased up until you pay your last payment to East.  The due date for the final payment is November 21.  Basic coverage.

2. Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) Insurance - can ONLY be purchased up until October 16th.  After that, this option is not available.  Covered until 48 hours before the trip.

The attached files contain the information you will need to purchase insurance:

**PLEASE ALSO REMEMBER - If your student will be 18 years old by March 18, 2026, they MUST have a Real ID or valid US Passport in order to travel by air.  PLEASE plan ahead!  Appointments are filling up fast**  

Hello Parents/Guardians of the Class of 2026,

It was brought to my attention that some families were not able to make Payschools payments towards Senior Trip over the weekend.  That issue has been fixed - here are the details:

IF YOU HAVE NOT SIGNED UP FOR THE TRIP, BUT WANT TO:

You must pay the "EAST - LATE Sr Trip 2026 OFFICIAL Deposit #1 - $700.00" fee in Payschools (or by cash/check with Ms. Barr in Activities) by OCTOBER 19TH.  Paying the deposit is how you sign up for the trip.  You can also pay the "EAST - LATE Sr Trip 2026 OFFICIAL Deposit #2 - $700.00".  If your child decides they would like to join the trip after 10/19, their only option is to join the waitlist to see if a spot opens up.  There is no guarantee that a spot will become available.

IF YOU HAVE PAID ONLY ONE $700 DEPOSIT (or less than $1,400 total so far):

Your student is signed up for the trip, BUT you should consider paying the "EAST - LATE Sr Trip 2026 OFFICIAL Deposit #2 - $700.00" payment in Payschools by 10/19.  That way, you can spread out the payments and won't be left with a $1,469 payment due in November.

FINAL PAYMENTS FOR ALL STUDENTS:

Will be posted in late October/early November.  We do not give you the option to pay off the trip before this so that you have time to purchase trip insurance if you so choose.  Final payments will be due November 21st (in Payschools or in person with Ms. Barr).

FINAL REMINDERS

- Deadline to purchase "Cancel for Any Reason" insurance is October 16th.  

- If your child will be 18 years old by March 18th, they MUST either have a REAL ID or a valid US Passport.  Book your appointments NOW.  They are filling up several months out.

Thank you!!!

We want to give families every opportunity to space out payments and not be burdened by paying a lot at once. This deposit is still optional. All deposits will be kept on file and are fully refundable until September 2025. For reference, next year’s trip is $1870.

This is the 3rd optional collection window. There will be a final optional collection date in the Fall.

Optional Deposits of $300 can be made through 2 methods:

1.      The Payschools payment system https://payschoolscentral.com/

o   Listed as East - Senior Trip 2026 Optional Deposit #3. The window for this payment method will open April 8th, 2024 and remain open until May 3rd, 2024.

Dear Class of 2026,

We will soon begin collecting deposits for the Class of 2026 Senior Class Trip to Disney World, which is tentatively scheduled for March 2026. Our current Seniors are about to embark on an awesome 5 days in Florida for their class trip and we want all our students to have this opportunity.

Why would we collect this early for a trip over three years away? Well for starters, the trip is getting expensive. With prices going up on airfare, tickets, food, etc. every year, we want to give families every opportunity to space out payments and not be burdened by paying a lot at once. This deposit is optional. All deposits will be kept on file and are fully refundable until September 2025.

We will continue to hold collection dates throughout their high school career – once each fall and spring. Following the optional deposit schedule, the amount remaining when we get to mandatory deposits in the spring of 2025 will be minimal.

Optional Deposits of $300 can be made through 2 methods:

1. The Payschools payment system https://payschoolscentral.com/ listed as East - Senior Trip 2026 Optional Deposit #1. The window for this payment method will open March 20th and remain open until April 7th. There is a fee for using this service. Please pay by ACH/e-check, not debit/credit card, to minimize that fee.

2. Check/cash, made out to Cherry Hill East. Checks will ONLY accepted between March 20th, 2023 and March 31st, 2023 (make check out to "Cherry Hill East" and put student's first & last name and Class Year in the memo section). Please ONLY deposit $300, not more or less. Please hand in these checks in the Activities Office.

The Senior Class Trip consists of 5 days and 4 nights at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The cost includes admission to all theme parks, hotel, food vouchers, travel and transportation. We try our best to make this as much of an all-inclusive cost as possible. However, the total cost of the trip will not be finalized until Spring 2025. This year’s trip was $1755.

We sincerely hope that many of you will choose to attend the Senior Trip. We guarantee it will be an experience of a lifetime and one of the best memories of your high school career!
