Lost Lake Elementary November 28, 2016

In celebration of our fifth grade students’ promotion, we will be taking a field trip to UNIVERSAL’s Islands of Adventure Theme Park,on Thursday, May18th, 2017! We understand this field trip is expensive, which is why we have used the funds we raised from Chic-Fil-A Spirit Night, in an effort to reduce the cost to individual families. We have worked with Universal and charter bus companies, to offer the best possible advanced pricing for this event. Rather than wait until the end of the school year to ask for monies to be collected, we are offering families the opportunity to make two payments, to cover the cost of the trip, and to ensure that we have reserved an adequate amount of group tickets and spaces on the charter buses.

The regular admission for Universal Studios is currently $105.00, however with our group rate, children will have admission to Universal Studios, charter bus transportation to and from the park, with a meal voucher included to cover their lunch at a participating food location inside the park for less than the cost of a one-day park admission.

We will be leaving Lost Lake promptly at7:30a.m. on May 18h and the school day will extend to 7:00p.m., so that students will be able to enjoy a full day at the park. We will have space on the buses to invite 4 chaperones for each class. Chaperones will also be offered a reduced rate for their ticket and transportation, and a meal voucher will be included for adult chaperones. Chaperones will be accepted based on a first approved, first paid basis. You must have a current Level 2 Clearance on file with LCS, prior to reserving a spot on this trip. Information regarding other end of the year activities, will be sent out at a later date.

The cost per student (and chaperones) for this field tripis $90,which is due in full no later than April7, 2017. Since we understand that this amount is something to plan for within a family’s budget, we will accept your first cash paymentof $45 towards your child’s guaranteed spot on this trip on February 1st. Please send cash, as Lost Lake does not accept checks. Remit your payment(s) in a sealed envelope, clearly marked with your child’s name, and teacher’s name, as well as the amount paid. Once your money has been received, you will receive a receipt, reflecting your payment and balance due if you are electing the two-payment plan. If your child is an “Annual Pass Holder”, please contact your child’s homeroom teacher to validate the expiration date of their pass and to determine the prorated cost. Prorated costs would also apply to any approved chaperones who are also “Annual Pass Holders”, please let your child’s teacher know if this would apply if you are chaperoning.

We are looking forward to a year of learning and are excited to be able to make lasting memories during your child’s last year of elementary school!

Sincerely,

Fifth Grade Teachers
