Trip Acceptance and Contract
Travel Feb 15th – 19th, 2016
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 2015 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. K.J. White (office) or Ms. Duffy (office) by 3:00 P.M, Wednesday October
14th, 2015, along with the first payment in the amount of $300. A post-dated cheque for November 23rd in the
amount of $300 would also be appreciated, and will speed up the payment process. (cheques are preferred and
may be made out to Queen Charlotte Intermediate School). We ask that this be placed in an envelope with the child’s
name and homeroom clearly stated. Payments are non-refundable.
