Good Morning,
I apologize for such confusion with the trip but with the uncertainty in today's climate I want to have as accurate information as possible. We are working on a different date for the trip so children do not lose out on this opportunity, as with changing dates conflicts do come up. We tried to choose dates that would work with school so students do not miss any more school than is necessary as they are missing a ton currently.
The dates we chose are May 22-25, 2020. We are hoping parents will be flexible on this change so their students do not miss this amazing trip.
I am waiting to hear from my school district if the one day they will be missing will be excused. If there are conflicts with your personal schedule I apologize, I have 180 students on this trip and 18 chaperones and there is a second trip from the two other Manchester schools with over 100 students and 10+ chaperones, so we are doing our best to accommodate the majority of people involved. The tour company is working on securing hotels, buses etc on their end for these dates. We will be assessing continually and come up with a plan for those who have a conflict and chose to cancel. The financial aspect has not been finalized so we do not have any answers or numbers for refunds at this time if you choose to cancel.
If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.
Thank you for your understanding,
Gina McGuiggin
