Universal 2015

Universal Trip

Parents -

This is just a reminder that the students will be attending Universal Studios on Monday, June 1st.  They need to be at school Monday morning between 700-715 a.m. as buses will pull out at 730. Please report to your HR teacher to check in for attendance purposes.  Please remind your students to wear their pinkish 5th grade shirts on Monday and to be sure to load up on sunscreen as the weather forecast is shooting for sunny weather. Also, please DO NOT bring any electronic devices (i.e. IPods, game players or cell phones). They will be left on the bus unattended while we walk throughout the park.

Also, the students will be receiving a voucher in Universal Studios money to be used to purchase lunch throughout the day.  However, if your child would like to purchase souvenirs at the park or you think they might need more for food/drinks/ etc, you might want to send them with some "just in case" money.

We should be arriving back at school around 500-530 Monday evening.  So, for those of you who are unable to chaperone, please make sure you or someone will be at Gorrie to pick up your child by then.

Thank you so much and we are looking forward to a great day!
