Refrain from any items that violate Iredell-StatesvilleSchool rules
These include: no alcohol/drugs at anytime or at any point. Smoking is not allowed during the trip. Please refrain from using inappropriate language, as we are the role models for the kids!
Make sure you are aware of any kids who need medication and following those guidelines.
No Energy Drinks!!!! You, the student, or the school, may have no idea of the medical condition of a student, so these drinks can do significant harm if a child has any heart issues.
Make sure students are supervised at all times. Never allow any male/female students in the same room without adult supervision.
Lockdown at 11:00 and there will be a hall security guard. No kids out in the hall after 11:00. Do not allow room to room calls after lockdown. The doors will be taped and initialed by the officer to ensure no one leaves the room. We will have security guards walking the halls once we arrive.
Television programs are PG 13. Some hotels have programs not suited for kids. Please make sure they do not access these.
You can’t take students off the hotel property. Even if there is a restaurant close by. We will provide snacks at the end of the night if needed. At any time they are hungry let us know. There will be snack machines and drink machines in the hotel as well.
