Thanks for a Great Meeting This Week!

Hey East Coasters,
Thank you all for coming to our pre-departure meeting on Wednesday.  It is great to see how excited the kids are becoming as we get closer to our trip.  I wanted to go over a couple of quick items that I mentioned at the meeting, but may not have explained as well as I would have liked.

Medication Authorization foldable:
This is the sheet that you picked up at the end of the meeting that gives me or a chaperone the permission to administer some basic medications (Advil, Pepto-Bismol, etc.) as well as specialty medications.  This sheet should be folded and put into a quart sized Ziploc bag along with any daily supplements, or medications that your child takes on a regular basis.  Bring the baggie on the day we depart and I will assign it to your child's chaperone.  Please pack only enough meds for the trip, not the whole bottle.  Your child can get their medications from their assigned chaperone as needed (usually at meal times).  As always, any life saving medications (epi-pen, inhaler etc.) should be kept by your child for emergencies.

Our Chaperones:
I VERY quickly introduced our chaperones for the trip, but wanted to be sure that you know who is going.  Mr. Chad Powell, our Assistant Principal at Rio Norte will be going along with us, and my wife, Andi Sheridan, a teacher at Mountainview Elementary school will be coming as well.  They are both very excited...

And finally, I want to have a quick student meeting right after school on Tuesday, March 19th in room D-6.  At this meeting, I will collect student ID cards in the event TSA needs them, and I will go over the rules of the trip and signed student agreement in detail one final time.  This meeting should be quick and over by 2:30pm.  Thank you again for allowing your child to have this experience, and as always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Mr. Sheridan
