This trip is not an Allen ISD sponsored trip or a Curtis Middle School trip, it is a trip independently sponsored by the eighth grade history teachers and as teachers in the district and this not being a sanctioned trip by the school or the district our hands are somewhat tied when it comes to fundraising.

If we have some parents that have some interest in trying to get some opportunities together to help with fundraising we are more than willing to support that.

All parent spots are dependent on how many students travel.

One parent spot opens with every 14 students that sign up.

A parent can register but all adults are waitlisted and are then either placed on the travel list or not. If not able to travel all monies are refunded or put toward your child’s account

Any adult that wants to travel must attend all meetings next year.

This is not a time for students to meet up with relatives that live in the area.

This is not a Curtis Trip or an Allen ISD Trip, this is an opportunity presented to you by myself and Worldstrides.

If you have questions or issues they must be brought to me or Worldstrides, not a school administrator or district official.

If you have questions before signing up please email me at keith_shaw@allenisd.org
