Trip Chaperone Action Item

/ lauraupton74 / Leave a comment

Hello All!

Did you (like myself) get an email from our chaperone coordinator stating that you needed to complete or update your volunteer paperwork?

Fingerprinting is required to attend this field trip!

please email<TCaldwell@nkschools.org> to schedule your fingerprinting appointment.

Now is the time to take care of this important step. We cannot purchase airline tickets for chaperones until we are sure you can join us on the trip.

You can download and print this Volunteer Packet and return it to the school or district office.

Please reach out if you have any questions or need assistance.

We are excited to be able to offer these opportunities in addition to all the fundraising efforts that have, to date, brought in almost $9,000 to reduce the overall cost of the trip to all families! Love this team and the amazing work everyone does to make this year great for our young musicians!

Happy Fundraising!

Disneyland 2009B

The numbers are in!!

Thanks to all the families who returned their paperwork we officially have enough students committed to joining us on this trip to march down Main Street USA!

Now that we can get into the fine points of planning this amazing trip for our kids there are a few things to be watching for in the coming months:

Trip Cost and Payment Schedule:

We have gotten the cost of the trip under a thousand dollars and are continuing our fundraising efforts but at this point families should expect to pay approximately $900 per person. The upfront cost for adult chaperones will be slightly lower as they are not required to pre-pay for meals inside the park at Disneyland. Adults will be responsible for purchasing their own meals as they see fit.

Total Cost: Approximately $900

Cost Payment Schedule due at or before Booster Meetings:

February 7th: minimum payment $250

March 7th: minimum payment $250

April 4th: Remainder of trip cost

May 1st: incidentals or last minute changes cost may vary

You can also send payments to: 

P.O.Box 1312

Kingston, Washington 98346

If you are not receiving our SignUp Genius emails regarding See’s Candy Site Sales dates please reach out to us ASAP. This is our primary communication tool for individual fundraisers.

Chaperones and Volunteers:

If you indicated that a family member was willing to chaperone we added you to our volunteer and chaperone list! Congratulations! We would like you to have all the information and complete the chaperone clearance process as soon as possible. If for any reason you are not able to continue as chaperone please let us know immediately so we can make other arrangements.

We had several volunteers indicate they would go, “if needed”. It would be best to complete the volunteer paperwork so that you’ll be ready to go if we do need you. We are still working on the numbers and will reach out ASAP.
