10. Cell Phone-is not permitted on the bus while we are on tour in WDC.
They are to remain off or on silent. Cell phone cameras are allowed. If this
expectation is not followed, then we will revert to the past policy of
keeping the cell phones in our hotel room. This policy will be reviewed
as we progress through the school year. We'll discuss this more at future
meetings.
11. Meeting Expectations: If you cannot make a meeting, please contact me
or Mr. Fernandez the next day. If you miss many meetings, I will assume
you are not going. Don't make us guess if you are going on the trip.
Please contact one of us if we reach out to you.
*12. The most important date to remember: March 3, 2025 is the most
important date. If you decide to withdraw after this date, you will
lose $100 of your personal money. This means that prior to this
date, I will have submitted the airplane ticket deposit fee to United
Airlines. This is United Airline's policy, not Mr. Alamillo's.
NEXT MEETING: MONDAY January 13, 2025
"If you are on time, you are late. If you are early, you are on time."
