OPS Permission to Administer Medication Form -  RED FORM  - This is due Friday, February 14.

What is the chaperone application process?

• Any parent/guardian interested in being a chaperone on this trip must email Mrs. Kowalczyk by Friday, 8/23. Sending an email does not guarantee a spot as a chaperone so please wait for further communication before finalizing any arrangements.

  • All director approved chaperones will be contacted with information regarding completion of a Volunteer Screening Form as well as general information regarding chaperone responsibilities and payment information.

Please note that while this is a very fun trip and a unique experience, all chaperones will be WORKING - hard. The kids’ safety and experience are top priority and that will not be compromised. If that does not sound like a good fit for you, please do not inquire about being a chaperone.
