2 STREETSVILLE SECONDARY SCHOOL December 2, 2015 Dear Parent or Guardian: As an extension of the curricular program, the Ski and Snowboard Club is planning an excursion to Blue Mountain Ski Hill. This activity is under the supervision of Mr. Dinner, Mr. Turner and Ms. Maric. This will require your daughter/son to leave school property on December 16th, 2015 and/or February 10th, 2016 and/or March 2nd, 2016 at 7:00AM and return at 6:30PM. An alternate day of February 23rd, 2016 will be used if snow conditions force a change. Transportation is by Can-Am Express Coach. The cost per pupil for the excursions is $60.00 each. An extra $15.00 is required if the student is renting equipment, payable in cash on the bus. The excursion is an extension of the regular school program. Accordingly, expectations regarding student behaviour are the same as those for the regular school day. While we do not anticipate any problems, any serious breach of expected conduct on the part of a student may result in that student being sent home at the expense of the parent and further disciplinary action may be imposed. Student information (parent contact numbers, medical information, emergency contact numbers etc.) contained on your child s school records will be taken along on the excursion and used only in the event of an emergency. Please ensure that all student information regarding address, phone numbers and medical or health concerns is up-to-date. We are looking forward to an exciting and educationally worthwhile excursion. Please indicate your acceptance of the conditions outlined above by completing and returning to the school the attached form. Sincerely, Jim Dinner 2 of 6
