Students will provide names of recommended roommates on Roommate Request Form. It is recommended that if a group of four students know they want to room together, they should return forms together as a set. . Roommate decisions will be determined by the GMS trip coordinator teachers and administration and announced no earlier than April 2017.
The Washington, DC experience is a worthwhile trip that is both educational and
the future by taking students who have not shown the ability to demonstrate good behavior in school. The code of conduct and guide to mutual respect in the Grafton Middle School Student Handbook will be adhered to before and during this trip. If a student faces disciplinary action leading to suspension prior to the departure date, he or she will not be able to attend the trip and all funds will be forfeited. Your deposit is acknowledgement of this behavior clause.
