8th Grade Disney Trip Survey

Dear 8th Grade Parents:

Due to an unprecedented increase in ticket price this year, we have been forced to change the price of our Disney trip. Below you will find all the information about the trip along with the two pricing options. Please pick the option that works for you and your family and RETURN THIS FORM BY FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 4TH.

The trip is available to each 8th grade band, chorus, and orchestra student, but there are some guidelines and expectations that must be followed:

·  Students who receive any OSS during the 2015-2016 school year WILL NOT be allowed to participate

·  Students who receive 3 days or more of ISS during the 2015-2016 school year WILL NOT be allowed to participate

·  Students absent more than 10 days during the 2015-2016 school year MAY not be allowed to participate

·  Students who show disrespect to teachers, disrupt class, or have numerous calls home MAY not be allowed to participate

·  Students failing any courses at Cooper MAY not be allowed to participate

·  Students with unexcused absences from performances at Cooper MAY not be allowed to participate

There will be an informational meeting on Wednesday, September 16 at 7:00 for all interested parents and students.

We understand that this is a large financial obligation for you and your family, so we will strive to keep the cost as low as possible. All monies will be turned in via check or money order. We ask that you not pay in cash. Students will need to turn the money in to the bookkeeper by placing it in an envelope in one of the school’s safes. All monies collected for this trip are considered a donation, and we must have enough students attend the trip in order to make it cost effective. Prior to the final payment on March 11th, the final cost will be reevaluated to ensure the lowest price possible. In the event that there is any money left over in the trip account; the excess funds will be used for student needs in the music department. All of the money (except a $50 deposit) is fully refundable until March 11th 2016. No matter which option you choose the following payment schedule will be used.

October 16, 2015: Payment 1 ($50 of this is a non-refundable deposit)

November 13, 2015: Payment 2

January 15, 2016: Payment 3

February 12, 2016: Payment 4
