Chaperone Meeting – Wed 10/2 at 7:30p

We are holding our Chaperone Kick-Off Meeting on Wednesday, 10/2, at 7:30p at Foothill High School, Room C6, and on Zoom. https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84543246307?pwd=GVdDPhPaE3dA424U7XSzwKbog86Lv0.1

All parents can join, but this meeting will be focused on Chaperones, finding a Lead Chaperone for the trip, logistics, expectations, and more.

Flight Information – Full Package Travelers

For our Full Package travelers, The Parade just shared the two flights our Full Package travelers will be on. At this moment in time, this is informational only – no assignments have been made yet. The Leads and Chaperones will be determining which groups are on what flights. We will do our best to figure this out by 10/8/2024 so those not on a FULL Package can book flights.
