D.C. Trip Update-
- We are thankful that we can now say that all parents who paid for the DC Trip will receiving their money back. World Strides has offered a generous cancellation policy and we have accepted these terms.
- Parents that bought the trip insurance will get a full refund as was stated from the beginning.
- Parents who did not buy the trip insurance will also receive a refund minus the $115 trip insurance. World Strides has agreed to allow you to buy the trip insurance "after the fact" which ensures a refund.
- These funds should be returned to families 6-8 weeks from the trip date, which for us would mean around the last day of school, May 22, 2020. PARENTS DO NOT NEED TO DO ANYTHING TO RECEIVE REFUNDS. THIS IS ALREADY IN THE WORKS.
- It has been very disappointing that this year's 5th grade did not get to experience this trip. However, I appreciate your understanding and patience as we worked to do what was right for all families.
- Please email me if you have questions jmcalister@mcssk12.org
