d’Youville S. S. 10815 Dixie Road, Brampton, Ontario L6R 2W5 Tel: 905-789-5560 Fax:905-789-1143 Dear Parents/Guardians, St. Marguerite d’Youville is again organizing an overnight stay with Blue Mountain. We are excited to get started, but need to communicate and collect some important information first. It is vital to make students aware that because this is an out of school sports activity safety has a high priority. Students are expected to be careful with equipment on the bus as well as on the slopes. We expect students to be polite, cooperative and courteous on and off the slopes. As you well know, resorts will not tolerate activities that endanger the students or others and require a “ski-off” or lesson as part of a safety checklist. Resorts now also require all students to wear helmets when entering the terrain parks. Furthermore, because we will be staying overnight at the Blue Mountain Inn there will be amenities that will be off-limits to our students. The swimming pool, workout room, hot tub and other facilities will not be made accessible to our students. There will be an evening curfew where all students will need to be in their assigned suites by 11:30 pm. Any discipline issues on the trip will need to be dealt with in the most swift and diligent of fashions on the trip and will be addressed back at school by administration. Severe issues could also result in immediate withdrawal from the excursion. In the case of withdrawal from the excursion, the guardian is responsible for picking up their child or making travel arrangements for them. The overnight outing has been scheduled for Thursday February 28th 2008 to Friday February 29th 2007. We will be departing the school at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday and return by 5:30 p.m. on Friday (arrival time may be subject to change). We will be traveling by coach to the Blue Mountain Resort Inn and all students will be expected to travel with the group, no private transportation arrangements can be made. Students will be expected to wear and pack proper clothing (as determined by the weather and weather reports), and take care of any additional personal needs. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you, Mr. A. Carreiro Packages Package A: Rentals required ($16 for 2 day rentals) $201.35 Package B: Rentals required with helmet ($16 for 2 day ski or snowboard rentals, $6 for 2 day helmet rentals) $207.35 Package C: No rentals required $185.35 The packages include: • • • • Lift and lesson for Thursday and all day Friday One night accommodation (occupancy of four per room) Dinner & Breakfast Transportation to and from Blue Mountain via Coach bus (non-refundable $37.50) A meeting for the guardians of the participating students will be held on Tuesday January 10th 2008 at 6:00 pm in room 305.
