If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s homeroom teacher.

Sincerely,

The Junior/Intermediate Staff at Rick Hansen Public School

●     The trip will start before, and go past, Rick Hansen Public School’s regular school hours.  Students should be at the school by 8:15 a.m., ready to board their buses.  The buses will depart Rick Hansen Public School at 8:30 a.m. (sharp), and return around 4:30 p.m.  You will have to make arrangements for your child’s safe transportation to and from the school on Thursday, January 14th, and on Monday, January 25th. 

●     Students are asked to dress appropriately as they will be outside in the cold for most of the trip.  Clothing that will keep them warm and dry should be packed.  Hats, gloves, and snow pants are a must. 

●     Students may pack a lunch or bring money to purchase one at Snow Valley Ski Resort.  Lockers are not available at the ski resort, so we ask that any valuables be left at home.

●     If your child is skiing/snowboarding, please ensure that they know their weight and shoe size.  You may wish to write this on a piece of paper for them.

●     Students participating in the stay-back program should come to school at the regular school time.
