POST SECONDARY FIELD TRIP GRADE 10,11,12<br />
Dear Parents of grade 10, 11, 12 students:<br />
We are pleased to be providing a unique educational opportunity to our students on Thursday,<br />
February 19th. All grade 10, 11 and 12 students are setting out on post-secondary field trips<br />
designed specifically for REMSS. Please see details in the attached document.<br />
Field trip permission forms are part of the process. We sent parents a copy in August and the<br />
form has also been in each parent newsletter this school year. I have attached the parent<br />
permission form to this email for your convenience. Past experience has shown that sometimes<br />
handouts don't get home to parents, so email is one more way to share information! We will be<br />
giving copies to students during Wednesday's homeroom as well.<br />
As it states at the top of the page, the form is to be returned to the main office - it can even be<br />
faxed. Thank you for supporting your teen's post-secondary exploration. I did this trip last year<br />
at another school and it was the highlight of the year for many students and teachers. – Ms.<br />
