If you see your name on this list, please celebrate privately to avoid hurt feelings for others. Everyone turned in a good application, and the chaperone team knows that everyone really wanted to attend the trip. The chaperone team also wants ALL writers (every single person who applied…EVERY…SINGLE…PERSON) to know that you all are strong writers. Even if you don’t see your name on the list, keep writing and working on your craft.

If you see your name on the list, you need to accept you position for The Great Write, by sending Ms. Menard an email at mmenard@psdschools.org to accept your place on the team and your assigned roommate. If you are unable to commit to your spot on the team, or if you are unable to be with your assigned roommate, then you may decline your reserved spot and it will be offered to the student on the alternate list. Specific room assignments will be given once we arrive at the castle; however, 7th graders are in the Pink House and 8th graders are in the castle. Ms. Asqueri is the chaperone in the Pink House.

In your email, acknowledge which of your parent(s) gave permission for you to attend the trip and share a room with your assigned roommate.

There are very tight contract deadlines to honor, so all teammates need to confirm their place on the trip by 8:30 on Tuesday, October 9th. At this time, open positions will be offered to students on the alternate list. All contract agreements need to be confirmed and finalized by the end of the day on October 9th in order to honor our contract deadlines with the castle.
