NOVEMBER 10-15, 2022

Hello Parents / Guardians,

Please enter your child’s arrival travel information by midnight Sunday, November 6th. Any travel requests or changes after this date will have to be arranged by the student/parents.

It would be very helpful, for the coordination of student pick up/drop off, if a note could be made in the MySchool comments section that your child is bringing a bicycle, boxes, skis, or more than 2 bags of large luggage.

Early Leave or Late Return Requests

Requests for early leave or late return must be submitted to the Houseparents for approval. If the request is approved, the school will provide transportation, if available, for a fee that is indicated below. If school transportation is not available, the student/parents will be notified and will be responsible for booking and paying for the taxi/car service.

When booking flights, please note the approved leave dates and times. Students will not be charged if they travel within these times. Any transportation outside of these approved leave dates and times will result in a charge of $120-$140 each direction.
