Chaperones,
Thank you so much for your patience. Attached is the room assignment list for this weekend. I tried to assign you to your child's room and match male chaperones to boys rooms, women to girls. With the exception of Jenn Mabrey I was able to do that. You may want to bring a tote bage of some kind in case your students ask you to hold any of their "stuff" while performing. This is especially true for those chaperoning the girls!
The kids have worked really hard all year and we want this to be a fun and safe trip for them. As a chaperone you will be responsible for your students when they are not under the supervision of Dr. Warnock, Mrs. Bowden or Mrs. Newman. The students don't want us hovering so we will be using the buddy system. No buddy- No go! The only exception to this is the gift shop at Symphony Hall. There they must be accompanied by and adult and they will go in shifts. The shop is small and we don't want to overwhelm the staff. Each bus will have a roster and the students will be checked in with those chaperones accompanying the students on the busses. I will be one of those.
I am working with the manager at the hotel to have all the rooms assigned prior to the students' arrival on the busses. I may have to leave the Woodruff Center with Barb Smith for part of the day to do this. This is why neither of us is assigned students specifically, but we will be available to assist generally during the entire trip. When you arrive at the hotel I will give you your room key along with those of your students' rooms. The students will primarily be your responsibility at the hotel until we get on the busses the next morning. Dr. Warnock has listed the student and chaperone expectations in the packets he sent home last week.
The only addition I am making to that list is a request that while the students are eating at the Varsity, we try to keep everyone in the second floor dining area. The Varsity is a large fast food restaurant that is generally very crowded on a Saturday night. I do not require that you sit with your assigned students. I would like you to have a visual lock on them as best you can. If they need to use the bathroom or get more food they can do so with a buddy after informing you or another chaperone nearby, and then they must check back in. By the time we get to the hotel, they should be pros at this.
I would like the students to stay together at the hotel and watch movies. Some students may not chose to do so. Their other option is to stay in their room. Again, they must tell you where they are planning to be. I may ask some of you to hang out on the floors and watch the kids that choose to stay in their rooms and visit. We do not want the students to be wandering all over the hotel. Again, we want the kids to have fun, but we want them to be safe too.
I know this is alot of information. It really is just the parenting you already do, just with more kids. Last year went so smoothly and I don't expect any different this year. Thank you for volunteering.
