DC Trip Information and Registration

DC Trip Information and Registration

Hello everyone,
  This post contains important information regarding the registration process for your child and the Washington D.C. trip. Thank you in advance for reading this as well as your DC information packet and getting your child registered by October 29th.

DC Trip Information Folders - For those of you who attended or Washington D.C. trip presentation at Back to School Night you brought home with you the trip information folder. If you were not able to attend please note that your child was given your trip information folder during a second homeroom this past Friday. Please ask your child for this folder (Orange) as it contains important information presented  during the DC presentation.

DC Trip Registration Process (Please Read) - As explained at the DC Night Presentation we would like to get all the 8th graders registered with our travel agency Worldstrides by October 29th. 

Every student participating in the trip must be registered with Worldstrides in order for us to reserve a hotel room, meals, evening activities, and transportation accommodations for your child. Please note that you will include a $99.00 deposit towards your child's trip when completing the registration process. In your DC Information Folder you have an envelope inside from Worldstrides with a registration sheet that contains all the important information regarding our DC trip. Registration can be done one of three ways:

1. Online registration: Registration can be done quickly online by going to the Worldstrides website. At the site you will see a link in the right hand corner saying "Ready to Register? Visit Online registration now!" Clicking on this link will take you to the process to get your child registered for the trip and with Wayland Middle School. You can pay the $99.00 deposit by credit card when completing the registration online. Online registration allows you to access your child's account over the course of the year up to the trip to manage payments and view balances.

• For online registration our TRIP ID# is 81279

1. Registration by mail: Use the registration form included in your DC Information folder to register by mail. Simply fill out the form and include a check or money order for $99.00 payable to Worldstrides. This can be sent by mail using the enclosed envelope in your trip folder.
