Sanford Creek 5th Grade
Haw River Field Trip ~ 2014
Tracks 3 & 4 ~ March 25 – March 26 Track 1 ~ April 16 – April 17
2014 Dates
Daniels Tours, LLC We schedule 2 buses per trip with the
assumption that all students in all classes will attend the trip
The number of students determines the number of buses and remaining seats available for chaperones
We will need one parent from each trip to drive in order to provide emergency transportation if necessary
Transportation
We leave on the morning of the trip at approximately 7:30 am.
We return the next day at approximately 3:00 pm, allowing time for bus students to ride the bus
On departure day, Parents will drop off their student and luggage and check in with their student’s teacher before leaving
On our return to school, parents may pick up their student and luggage after checking out with their student’s teacher.
Time
Students needing medications administered while on the trip, must have Form 1702 (Parent Request and Physician’s Order Form for Medication) completed by your physician and sent with the medication. Medications can ONLY be administered by the teacher when accompanied by this form. (This includes Over the Counter medications)
The only exception to this, is if the parent is accompanying the student on the trip, in which case the parent may administer the meds.
Medications
The estimated cost for the trip is $125.00. This includes the $65.00 Haw River
payment + 60.00 for the bus. Haw River charges only the student’s
attending Daniels Transportation charges by the bus. The cost per student for transportation is
determined by the number of students who go on the trip.
The bus cost is ESTIMATED at this time
Cost
To hold your student’s reservation, we ask that the Haw River portion of the cost be paid by December 3, 2013.
After December 3, we can calculate the cost for the bus based on the number of student reservations received.
Chaperone cost will also be calculated at that time

Payments made CANNOT be refunded Dr. Council may make exceptions to this
stipulation on a case-by-case situation
