The itinerary has been planned to giveyou several different activities to enjoy and learn from. This guidebook has been preparedto help you with your plans for the trip and, once the trip is underway, to help you get themost out of it.

Both you and your parents/guardians must read the booklet to become familiar with theinformation it contains. There are also special forms associated with it that must becompleted and returned to the school in preparation for the trip. Be sure that you have allof them and return them by the date specified on them. There are also three copies of the

trip itinerary. At least one of these should be hung up at home so that parents/guardianswill be able to follow your activities and know where you are should they need to reachyou in an emergency. The others are for you to keep with you, so you will know yourschedule for each day of the trip.

We look forward to sharing this trip with you. Our purpose in being with you is to ensurethat your welfare is protected and to help you with whatever may arise once we are on thetrip. We want you to have a good as well as a safe time, and we are counting on you tocooperate with us in that effort.

Dear Parent/Guardian and Senior:

This information packet has been prepared for you in the hope that it will both answerquestions and/or concerns you may have about the Senior Class Trip as well as remind

you of the very serious responsibilities that go along with participation in such an event.Please read everything that you find here.

The trip booklet itself (with Mickey on the front) has been arranged in such a way thatthe last several pages can be detached from the rules/regulations part of the booklet.These last pages consist of the packing lists and three copies of the trip itinerary. Bydefining these, seniors can keep the packing lists handy as they put things into theirsuitcases and carry-ons. The multiple copies of the itinerary can be posted at home, takento work, and otherwise put in a handy place so those at home can track the classeswhereabouts while the trip is in progress.

Together with, but separate from, the booklets are the various forms that need to be filledout and returned before the trip gets underway. Instructions for them are attached to orincluded on the sheets. The important thing about all of them is to be sure that they are allcompleted and back to Mrs. Rosenthal no later than January 27th .

Be sure you have set aside Wednesday, February 13th

at 7 P.M. for the

student/parent meeting in the new Performing Arts Center.

In the meantime, if you have any questions about the trip, please feel free to contact Mrs.Rosenthal or Mr. McIntosh at the school (267-0830).

SENIOR CLASS TRIP

OPENING STATEMENTIt should be understood by all members of the Senior Class and their parents/guardians that this isa school trip, entirely under school supervision and school rules. Each student will be heldpersonally responsible for his/her conduct on this trip. The school expects that the seniors going toOrlando, Florida, will have a good time. However, for the welfare of everyone concerned, certainguidelines must be insisted upon. In short, everyone is expected to act maturely and withconsideration for the rights and privileges of others. Everyone is also expected to obey the law.Those who violate ANY of the rules must understand that they will face serious consequences fortheir actions.

THE FOLLOWING GENERAL GUIDELINES WILL BE INSISTED UPON:

1. Students are expected to cooperate fully with all authorized chaperones. FAILURE TO DO SO

MAY RESULT IN THE STUDENT BEING SENT HOME FROM FLORIDA, suspension from school,and/or exclusion from remaining trip and senior activities. If it becomes necessary for a student to be senthome, the parents/guardians will be duly notified and directly responsible for all expenses andtransportation costs incurred.

2. Any student detained by security personnel in any park visited, whether charges are filed or not,will be excluded from all remaining trip activities and/or sent home at the student's expense.

3. ACCORDANCE WITH BOARD POLICY, POSSESSION AND/OR USE OF ANY DRUG(INCLUDING ALCOHOL) IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED AT ALL TIMES. IF A STUDENT BECOMESINVOLVED WITH ANY DRUG WHILE ON THE CLASS TRIP, HE/SHE WILL BE SENT HOME ATHIS/HER EXPENSE INCLUDING ANY RELATED MEDICAL COSTS. HE/SHE MAY NOT BEPERMITTED TO PARTICIPATE IN REMAINING SENIOR ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS THE PROM,

CLASS NIGHT, AND GRADUATION. THE STUDENT MAY ALSO BE ON PROBATION FOR THEREST OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

4. SCHOOL RULES REGARDING SMOKING WILL ALSO BE IN EFFECT ON THE TRIP.This is in the students best interest as well as in the interest of all others on the trip and those sharing

facilities/activities with the group. Disney World has been designated a "smoke-free environment."Smoking is permitted only in specific "smoking areas." Lines and attractions and other areas of the parkswill be patrolled. You will also be staying in a smoke-free room at the motel. No-smoking IS essential thereWHERE THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE IS THE PRIMARY CONCERB. Leave your cigarettes at home.

5. THOSE STUDENTS 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER MUST FOLLOW ALL SCHOOLREGULATIONS PERTAINING TO THE TRIP.

6. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS/GUARDIANSUNDERSTAND THAT THE LAWS IN FLORIDA ARE VERY STRICTLY ENFORCED. IF SECURITYPERSONNEL OR POLICE CATCH ANY STUDENT BREAKING LOCAL LAWS (SHOPLIFTING, PUBLICDRINKING OR DRUG USE, VANDALISM, ETC.), HE/SHE WILL BE ARRESTED. AUTHORITIES WILLNOTIFY THE CHAPERONES AND THE STUDENTS PARENTS/GUARDIANS. PARENTS WILL BEEXPECTED TO COME TO FLORIDA AND TO TAKE PERSONAL CUSTODY OF THEIR CHILD.CHAPERONES CANNOT AND WILL NOT LEGALLY ACT ON A STUDENTS BEHALF IN THE CASE OF ANARREST. ONCE THE POLICE HAVE ACTED AGAINST A STUDENT, THAT STUDENTS TRIP IS OVER. THESTUDENT AND HIS/HER PARENTS WILL TRAVEL HOME AT THEIR EXPENSE. IN ADDITION TO LEGALPENALTIES AND SCHOOL PENALTIES LISTED IN #3 ABOVE, THE SCHOOL BOARD MAY IMPOSEFURTHER DISIPLANARY ACTIONS. THIS IS A SERIOUS WARNING. STUDENTS MUST BE SMART

7/29/2019 TRIP BOOK 13

5/22

ENOUGH TO TAKE IT. THE SECURITY PEOPLE AT DISNEYWORLD AND ELSEWHERE ARE VERY GOODAT THEIR JOBS. IF ANYONE TRIES SOMETHING STUPID, HE/SHE WILL BE CAUGHT AND THECONSEQUENCIES WILL BE SEVERE. IF A STUDENT'S INTENTION IN GOING ON THE TRIP IS TO TRY TOOUT WIT ANYONE WITH AUTHORITY, THE STUDENT SHOULD STAY HOME AND SAVEHIMSELF/HERSELF THE TROUBLE. THIS IS A NO-WIN SITUATION.

7. Students must maintain due respect for the property of other students, the motel, the

transportation company, and the public. ANY DAMAGES WILL BE PAID FOR BY THE PERSON(S)INVOLVED. It is therefore every student's responsibility to check for damage on the plane, the busses, andin the motel rooms AS SOON AS HE/SHE ENTERS ANY OF THESE, he or she should report anydamage he/she finds to the closest chaperone. This is the only way students can avoid being charged forsuch damages.

8. Everyone must appear at specified times for everything listed on the itinerary or added by thechaperones. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN SEVERE PENALTIES. Busses WILL NOT wait.

9. Students must participate in every activity on the itinerary. NO ONE MAY LEAVE ANACTIVITY LOCATION UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. NO ONE CAN REMAIN AT THE HOTEL.Anyone who leaves a scheduled activity site without permission will be sent home at his/her expense.

10. Students needing medical attention or assistance of any kind from a chaperone should report to aFIRST AID STATION or GUEST RELATIONS. Both are located in each of the Disney World areas aswell as in other places included on the itinerary. Chaperones will check in with the first aid stations at leastonce every hour. In the event of an emergency, security personnel can locate chaperones immediately. If itbecomes necessary to obtain the series of a physician, or if it becomes necessary to hospitalize a studentbecause of illness or disability, the parent/guardian will be notified as soon as possible and will beresponsible for any expenses incurred.

11. ALL STUDENTS GOING ON THE TRIP MUST TURN IN MEDICAL SLIPS AND APERMISSION SLIP to Mr. Haines. No students may go on the trip unless these forms are completed andturned in by the specified deadline. Specific medical needs that chaperones should be aware of can be notedon the medical sheet.

12. Boys may not visit in girls' rooms, and girls may not visit in boys' rooms. Co-ed socializingMUST be conducted outside the rooms. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS FOR ANY REASON.

13. Curfew time will be between 10pm and 11pm each night unless otherwise specified. CURFEWMEANS THAT STUDENTS ARE IN THEIR ASSIGNED ROOMS WITH DOORS AND CURTAINSCLOSED. It is realized that all lights will not be out at curfew, but it would be wise for students to get tosleep as soon as possible because of the early wake-up time and each days busy schedule. Chaperones willbe on patrol until such time as the hotel security personnel come on duty to relieve them. Violations ofcurfew will be considered a violation of the rules and result in serious disciplinary action. Anyone leavingthe assigned hotel area without permission will be sent home at his/her expense.

14. Students are encouraged to bring and use cell phones on the trip. We discourage using the hotelphones as they are very expensive.

15. ABOVE ALL, STUDENTS SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE OTHERPEOPLE CHECKED INTO THE HOTEL, VISITING THE ATTRACTIONS, AND EATING IN THESAME PLACES AS THEY WILL BE GOING. THE OUTSIDE INDIVIDUALS DESERVE COURTESYAND THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENJOY THEIR TIME AT THESE PLACES. STUDENTS MUST NOTDO ANYTHING THAT WILL INTERFERE WITH THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS. THEY MUSTEXERCISE GOOD JUDGMENT AT ALL TIMES. THIS INCLUDES RUNNING AND SCREAMINGAT THE HOTEL. BOTH ARE ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN.

SENIOR CLASS TRIP

GENERAL INFORMATION1. DEPARTING PROCEDURES

Seniors will be responsible for bringing their ONE large suitcase to the school between 2:00-4:00P.M. on Monday, March 4, 2013. The luggage will be inspected by chaperones and police K-9units and tagged. It will then be loaded onto a truck for transport to Philadelphia Airport where itwill be secured until departure time on Tuesday. STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET ATTHIS LUGGAGE ONCE IT LEAVES THE SCHOOL UNTIL THEIR ARRIVALAL AT THEHOTEL LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. Be certain that nothing you will need before that time ispacked in that suitcase. Money, personal items, medications, etc. SHOULD GO IN THE CARRY-ON BAG.

All students going on the trip will meet in the CAFETERIA on Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at thedesignated time.( HOWEVER, IF A STUDENT FEELS ILL ON THE DAY OF DEPARTURE,HE/SHE SHOULD NOT GO ON THE TRIP. A PARENT/GUARDIAN SHOULD NOTIFYMRS. ROSENTHAL AT 609-267-0837 x3214 or (609)-980-6112 NO LATER THAN 4:00A. M.) Students will bring their carry-on bags to the cafeteria when they report. Chaperones andpolice K-9 units will inspect all bags before students board the busses for Philadelphia Airport.

Busses will depart from RVRHS for Philadelphia International Airport. DO NOT MISS THEBUS! THE BUSSES WILL NOT WAIT IF YOU COME LATE.

2. LUGGAGEStudents are allowed ONE piece of luggage to check and ONE carry-on bag. THE CARRY-ONBAG MUST BE SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT BENEATH THE SEAT ON THE PLANE. Bookbags are ideal!

3. WHAT TO WEAR FOR THE TRIP TO ORLANDOSince students will not be checking into the hotel or have access to their luggage until after the

evenings activities, they should dress for the activities listed on the itinerary for the first day.Clothing should be comfortable and suitable for whatever activity is listed. Clothing that displaysinappropriate symbols and/or writing, or is otherwise in poor taste is not acceptable. Sinceevenings can be quite cool in Florida, it is recommended that clothing be layered. Having asweatshirt, sweater, or jacket and long pants to put over what you may already be wearing is agood idea. These things can be stored in lockers for a fee. This fee will get you through the entireday and will be partly refunded when you return your key.

4. WEATHER IN ORLANDO, FLORIDAExpect temperatures to range from 50 degrees to 80 degrees during the day. The evening willprobably be cool and the days warm. Students should remember that it rains easily and at any timein Florida. Though we certainly hope that this will not happen, students should be prepared just incase with ponchos, extra shoes, and umbrellas each day. These can be stored in lockers at theparks. Check the weather channel or the Internet for up-to-date weather information prior to the

trip.5. CLOTHING

Informal, but tasteful, attire is suggested at all times. The secret to an enjoyable time is to dresscomfortably and bring comfortable shoes for LOTS of walking. STUDENTS SHOULD BRINGCLOTHES FOR TWO SEASONS, SPRING AND SUMMER. IF THEY PACK ONLYSUMMER THINGS, THEY RUN THE RISK OF BEING VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ALARGE PORTION OF THE TRIP IF THE WEATHER REMAINS COOL. ( A suggestedpacking list is included in this booklet to help students have all the things they will need to becomfortable on the trip. )

7/29/2019 TRIP BOOK 13

7/22

6. MONEY

Students will need enough money to cover five meals (usually lunch) and any snacks they wish topurchase at the attractions. We suggest $150 as a BARE MINIMUM for meals and snacks.Students with larger appetites are encouraged to bring perhaps $15-25 more in case the costs run alittle higher. SOUVENIRS WILL BE ADDITIONAL. Travelers checks are STRONGLYRECOMMENDED. There are ATM machines in most locations, and most credit cards aregenerally accepted, but it would be best not to depend on credit cards for everything because theremay be times when you cannot use them.

Students should be careful TO BUDGET whatever money they bring with them so that they willhave enough to last through the trip. STUDENTS ARE ADVISED NOT TO SPENDEXCESSIVE AMOUNTS THE FIRST DAYS OF THE TRIP. There will be plenty of time topurchase souvenirs throughout the trip, and PRICES ARE THE SAME IN ALL AREAS OF THEDISNEYWORLD COMPLEX & UNIVERSAL STUDIOS.

7. ACTIVITY COSTSEntry fees to activities listed on the itinerary are covered in the basic cost of the trip. Additionalitems, such as boat rentals, are extra. IN ADDITION TO RENTAL FEES, A VALID DRIVER'SLICENSE IS ALSO REQUIRED for boat rentals. Rentals are expensive. Plan accordingly.

8. SUNBURN WARNING

Everyone has heard the warning before that the sun in Florida is "different" from the sun here.People may choose not to believe it, but IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE. The sun is much hotterand burns the skin MUCH MORE QUICKLY than students (even those who tan easily) oftenrealize. We therefore REQUIRE students to bring AND USE a SUN BLOCK, not just a sunscreen or a tanning solution. A minimum of #15 SPF sunblockis recommended. TANNING OILIS THE WORST POSSIBLE THING TO USE, SO LEAVE THAT AT HOME.

Students who allow themselves to be badly burned WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO STAY INTHEIR ROOMS OR ELSEWHERE DURING THE TRIP. ALL STUDENTS WILL HAVE TOPARTICIPATE IN WHATEVER EVENTS ARE SCHEDULED, REGARDLESS OFSUNBURN.

EACH YEAR A FEW STUDENTS SUFFER TERRIBLY FOR NOT HEEDING THIS

WARNING. IT IS INTENDED TO BE A VERY SERIOUS ONE THAT WE HOPE EACHSTUDENT AND HIS/HER PARENTS/GUARDIANS WILL TAKE PRECAUTIONS AGAINSTIN PREPARING FOR THE TRIP.

9. MOTION SICKNESSStudents who have experienced this problem on other flights or forms of transportation shouldtake every precaution against it for the trip to and from Florida. Students who have never flownbefore may want to consider taking medication before they travel. This could make the flightsdown and back more pleasant for them. Anyone who is subject to motion sickness is STRONGLYURGED to take precautions against it for many of the attractions in the Disney & UniversalStudios complexes as well. SEVERAL OF THE ATTRACTIONS GIVE THE ILLUSION OFTRAVELING, AND THEY WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT -- SOMETIMES AMAGNIFIED ONE -- ON PEOPLE WHO ARE PRONE TO MOTION SICKNESS. It is wise tobe prepared for this possibility so that the trip can be fully enjoyed without the unpleasantness

motion sickness can bring. ATTRACTIONS THAT HAVE THIS POSSIBILITY POST ORANNOUNCE WARNINGS REGARDINGING MOTION SICKNESS. THE WARNINGS AREMEANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. Chaperones can also advise students about "wild" rides.

10. HOTEL ETIQUETTEAs much as you may think that this is something that does not need your attention, we havediscovered from past trips that it is at the hotel where almost all of the serious behaviorproblems occur. It is because of infractions made here that some students in the past have had tosit out from some of the planned activities. In an effort to head this off before the trip getsunderway, we are devoting a separate section to your conduct at the hotel. Read it carefully so thatyou know and understand the information presented. This will prevent you from getting into

7/29/2019 TRIP BOOK 13

8/22

difficulty during the time you spend at the hotel. As with all of the other rules and regulationspresented in this booklet, there can be absolutely no exceptions to the points listed here.

General information:You will be staying at a Disney hotel that is open to and occupied by members of the generalpublic. This means that there will be regular, normal people there, not just high school seniors.

Only your best, most courteous, and respectful behavior is acceptable. This means:1. You cannot and will not run around the walkways, grounds, pool, orany other area at any time during your stay.2.You must and will keep your voice at a reasonable level, preferably a low one,especially when you return to the hotel later at night after each days activities. 3. You cannot and will not slam doors, throw anything, or yell from room to room.4. You cannot and will not use obscene, profane, or otherwise offensive language.5. You cannot and will not make calls from room to room anytime after midnight ( and itis very likely that the phones will be turned off anyway). Contact a chaperone foremergencies.6. You cannot and will not make excessive noise while you are in your room. Thisincludes maintaining a reasonable sound level on televisions, radios, etc. This is a criticalpoint because your room may be next to, above, or below one that is occupied bysomeone other than RV people, including young children.7. You cannot smoke for safety reasons and in respect of other patrons, including yourown roommates. The rooms are designated "Smoke-Free." Besides this is a violation ofschool rules and is a punishable offense.8. You must and will have shoes or some other kind of footwear on your feet at all timesexcept when you are in your bed, the shower, bathtub or in the pool.9. You must respect your roommates in regards to playing music, running appliances,having lights on late, talking on the phone, sharing the bathroom, etc.

About the hotel pool:The pool that is designated for our use may be used only with permission from the chaperones andonly when at least 2 chaperones are on duty there. There are some very specific rules regarding theuse of the pool that you must followIf you use the pool:1. If you cannot swim, do not go in the pool.2. You have to and will abide by the hours for use established by the hotel management. If thepool is closed, its closed...period, end of discussion.3. You cannot and will not horse around. This means there is absolutely...

a. no running

b. no dunking or throwing/ pushing anyone (especially chaperones) into the

pool

c. no diving

d. no screaming or yelling

e. no climbing over fences - use the gates

f. no throwing any objects except those designed exclusively for pool use

g. no using of anything glass or otherwise breakable anywhere in the pool area4. As with any crowded pool, keep a good eye on friends. If you see or hear that someone is

having difficulty in the water, offer help if you can give it without jeopardizing yourself or yell forhelp immediately. Chaperones will be at the pool.5. You must wear a bathing suit as opposed to clothing in the pool. Anything with metal, such aszippers or unusually long string ties/cords is NOT safe and therefore NOT permitted in the pool.

TWO ADDITIONAL CRITICAL REMINDERS ABOUT THE HOTEL:1. DO NOT OPEN YOUR ROOM DOORS TO ANYONE EXCEPT A CHAPERONE

OR SOME ONE WHO IS WITH A CHAPERONE. DO THIS ONLY AFTER YOU

HAVE LOOKED THROUGH THE DOOR PEEP-HOLE OR AT THE WINDOW.

KEEP YOUR DOOR SECURELY LOCKED WHILE YOU ARE IN THE ROOM.

7/29/2019 TRIP BOOK 13

9/22

Even if someone knocks and identifies himself/herself as hotel personnel, a repair

person of any description, or even a security guard, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR.

Go to your phone and call the room of one the chaperones or the front desk. Be sure

that you have the chaperones' room numbers so that you can do this. TRUST NO

ONE that you do not know no matter how official he/she may sound nor how

amusing he/she may seem to be.2. NO ONE is permitted to order take-out food after curfew. If you do, you will pay for it,

but you will not receive it. Room doors will be opened to NO ONE EXCEPT THECHAPERONES ONCE CURFEW IS IN EFFECT. This is why you are being told tobring snacks with you so that you'll have all that you need while you are in your rooms.

11. APPROPRIATE LANGUAGEBecause seniors are considered responsible, mature individuals, it is expected that the way inwhich they conduct themselves in public will reflect this maturity. This includes the language theyuse every day. Just because radio, television, the movies, other forms of entertainment, as well asthose with whom we regularly associate seem to promote profanity and obscenity, this does notmake the use of such language acceptable. Students will therefore be expected to completelyavoid using language that would be offensive to anyone in the general public. Because youwill be among families, small children, and older adults who will be listening to what you say andwatching what you do, you must be very careful about what you say and do. This will beespecially important for those of you who regularly use offensive language. For the duration of

this trip, and hopefully well beyond, YOU CANNOT AND WILL NOT USE OBSCENEAND/OR PROFANE LANGUAGE. Just as with any of the other rules established here for you,and just as it would be if someone reported you to the disciplinary office at school, there will beconsequences for your actions. SIMPLY USE GOOD TASTE AND GOOD JUDGMENT ATALL TIMES. This is how it works in the real world. You will be a part of the real world whenyou are on this trip. Your behavior, including your actions and your language, should be your bestat all times. Others are listening and paying attention even when you may think they are not.Absolutely no one appreciates loud, offensive individuals no matter how much you maypersonally think otherwise. People will treat you and respond to you just as you treat and respondto them. Behaving any other way is not "cool," and it is certainly not mature. Leave the badattitude, the bad habits, and the bad language at home. If you take any other approach, you will beasking for trouble.

SENIOR CLASS TRIP

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES BEFORE THE TRIP STARTS:

Taking care of final details about the trip:

1. Be sure your trip balance is paid in full. (See Ms. Hoyer if you have any questions onthis.)

2. If you have earned credit from fund-raising projects and want this amount for spendingmoney on the trip, see Mrs. Carlson and Mr. Auperle.

3. If you will require prescription medicine of any kind while you are on the trip, make thenecessary arrangements to get the prescriptions refilled if necessary in plenty of time forthe trip.

4. Questions of any kind regarding the trip should be directed to Mrs. Rosenthal in A231.

Getting ready to miss four days of school:

1. School continues for everyone who is not going on the trip, so you will be missing aconsiderable amount of work that must be made up, preferably before you go on the trip.

2. It is your responsibility to find out what you will be missing and get it made up BEFOREyou leave for Florida.

3. Some teachers may even schedule tests for days that youll miss. BY ALL MEANS ASKTO TAKE THESE TESTS BEFORE YOU LEAVE. You might not be allowed to takethem later.

4. It is also your responsibility to know what will be assigned and covered during yourabsence so that you will be prepared for class when you return.

5. The trip is NOT an excuse for missing or not knowing about ANY of your work. Youwill be able to enjoy yourself more if you leave knowing the work is finished, and youwill not risk losing credit for it. The block schedule makes this especially important.

Getting things together for the trip:

Large Suitcase:

1. You are permitted to have ONE LARGE SUITCASE that will be inspected inyour presence by the chaperones, inspected by the police K-9 unit, and thenloaded for transport to the airport. Start deciding NOW what you want to takewith you on the trip. Use the SUGGESTED PACKING LIST in this booklet tohelp you organize this process.

2. Set these items outsee what you have, and decide what youll need to get.3. Go out and get these items NOW so that you wont be rushing around at the last

minute.4. Pack your suitcase during the week before the trip. That way youll know

everything is in order, and you will have plenty of time to add the last minutethings youve forgotten.

Do NOT pack money or medication in your suitcase. Keep these in what you carry on the

plane. You will not be able to get to your luggage once it is checked at school on Monday

evening. You will not see your luggage until you get to the hotel LATE Tuesday night.

7/29/2019 TRIP BOOK 13

12/22

Carry-On Bag

1. You are also permitted to have ONE SMALL BAG that you can carry on the planewith you. The airlines are very strict about the carry-on now. IT MUST FIT UNDERYOUR SEAT. IF IT DOES NOT, YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO TAKE IT ONTHE PLANE. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS. Give special attention to this bag.Like your large suitcase, it will also be inspected by the chaperones and the K-9 dogs. Itis the only luggage you will have access to while you are in flight. Be sure to pack

every essential item youll need for that day and evening in it so you can get what you

need from it. Be sure to put any medication you need in this bag as well as extra money,travelers checks, and any other important items you are taking on the trip. You shouldalso remember to pack snacks in it so that you can eat on the way to Disney World.

2. It is NOT a good idea to travel with valuable jewelry, so leave it at home.

Other considerations:

1. A PHOTO ID is REQUIRED (a driver's license is preferred). If you do not have a license, youcan you can get a state ID at the Motor Vehicle Agency in Mt. Holly or other government-issuedidentification. You cannot board a plane without a photo ID. All students over the age of 18

MUST have a government issued ID. In addition, it is a good idea to bring your school ID.

2. Carry only small amounts of cash at one time. Use travelers checks and cash them as you need

them. If you have not used travelers checks before, be familiar with how to use them. The bankwhere you get them can easily explain the process to you. If no one does, ask someone before youleave the bank. Chaperones can help.

3. Be sure to get a good nights sleep before the day of the trip. The excitement of traveling, plusthe busy agenda, will tire you out. You will need all of your energy for the long days that follow.DON'T START OUT TIRED!!!

Phone chain/Relaying information from Florida:

When we arrive in Florida we will instruct all students to call home to verify their arrival and willdo the same when we arrive in Philadelphia for the return flight. Students without a cell phonewill be provided with one to make these two calls.

If a situation arises that warrants a mass communication to all parents, a computer-generatedmessage will be sent to all students homes.

SPECIAL NOTE

- If some emergency prevents you from arriving at school intime for check-in on Tuesday morning, call Mrs. Rosenthal by

4:00A.M.

- If you are sick on Tuesday morning, call Mrs. Rosenthal by 4:00 A.M.The number to call for either situation is:609-980-6112 or 267-0837, ext 3214.
