1 Queen Charlotte Intermediate School 150 North River Road Charlottetown, PE C1A 3L Fax: KJ White Principal Dale McIsaac Vice Principal Let s Travel to Ottawa and Québec Trip Acceptance and Contract Travel Feb 19 th 23 rd, 2018 Trevor MacNeill Vice Principal Gladys Kickham Guidance Counselor In preparation for our upcoming trip, our teacher-chaperone team needs to figure out how many students wish to be part of this trip and to set out some guidelines for participating students. The guidelines will ensure that students will work diligently toward their trip in a positive manner and are clear on what is expected. We are also looking for parents who are interested in being chaperones. Therefore, students are expected to maintain a consistent strong effort academically while being a positive member of the Queen Charlotte school community during their grade nine year, and behave as they would at Queen Charlotte while on the trip. Should a problem arise on the trip, a student may be sent home at parents expense. If any one of these expectations is not met, the appropriate arrangements and/or actions will be taken. We look forward to your support and encouragement, as well as to a memorable trip. If for any reason your child is not able to participate in the trip, including behavioral issues; any refund is at the discretion of Target Tours. Thank for your support, Your Ottawa/Québec team at Queen Charlotte Please fill out the table below to indicate that both student and parents/guardians accept these conditions and expectations and return it to either Mr. Taggart or Mme. MacIsaac by Friday, Sept 29th, 2017, along with the first payment in the amount of $250. Post-dated cheques for October 27 and November 24 in the amount of $250 would also be appreciated, and will speed up the payment process.
