Washington DC Reminders

Wednesday Morning

  • Students should arrive between 6:00 a.m. and 6:30 a.m.  Doors will not open until 6:00 a.m.
  • We prefer that students are dropped off under the awning by the gym and that parents do not come in the gym.
  • If you must walk your child in, please park in the front parking lot.  Do NOT park in the bus lot! 

Packing Reminders

  • Students may only have 2 bags.
    • 1 carry on for the bus.
    • 1 suitcase/bag that will go under the bus.
    • Once we load the big bags under the bus, you won’t have access to them until we get to the hotel.

  • Snacks
    • Bus drinks must have a cap and be re-closable.
    • No gum on the bus.
    • If you are bringing snacks to be eaten at the hotel, put them in your big luggage.

  • Clothing
    • SCHOOL DRESS CODE APPLIES!  Pack items for each day that meet the school’s daily dress code.          
    • Bring layers-mornings and evenings will be cool while the daytime temps are predicted to be in the 60’s and low 70’s.  There is a good chance of rain on Friday.
    • Extra shoes-if your shoes get wet it is nice to have a back-up pair for the next day.

  • Spending Money/Card
    • This is optional.  Students will receive $10 for food at lunch and dinner is already paid for.  If you think your child needs more food money, you can send what you feel comfortable with.
    • Souvenirs – students will have 1 opportunity to buy souvenirs.  The place we stop has everything!

Return to C.C. Griffin

  • We anticipate being back at school on Friday around 7:00 p.m.
  • Chaperones will instruct students to call/text home when we are about an hour away.
  • DO NOT PARK IN THE BUS LOT!  Busses will not be able to get in if you do.
  • Please park in a parking space in front of the school.
