Students attending this trip must have transportation to get dropped off at school at 7:45am.
How does transportation work? 🚐
The 6 students going on this trip will be riding with Mr. Waraksa in his Toyota Sienna Minivan (it is on the approved vehicle list for Hillsborough County Schools). Here is a quick note from Mr. Waraksa about driving:
Dear Parents,
I am an excellent driver and have not been in an accident in over 20 years. I am a defensive driver and always focus my attention on the road. I understand the precious cargo I’ll be transporting and I give you my word I will do everything in my power to keep your children safe while on the road. I promise to not text or scroll while driving. My phone will be in its cradle the whole trip and only used for Google Maps navigation.
What’s the procedure for dropping off my child? 🚗
Students need to be dropped off at the FRONT of Barrington by 7:45am.
Is it possible to be a chaperone on this trip? 👓
No, I’m sorry. Since it’s such a small number of students going, we do not need any chaperones.
