3. Meal Selection

• Meal selection will be done during sign-ups for the trip. One of the questions asked will be “Do you need a bag lunch?”

• Students are allowed to bring money to buy food in the cafeteria in the lodge at Jay, however, students will not be permitted to purchase energy drinks. If the student does buy an energy drink, it will be confiscated by the staff.

To participate in this program, all students must follow the below-indicated rules.

1. Winter Gear

All students must bring appropriate outdoor wear:

• Winter jacket

• Hat

• Gloves

• Ski pants

• Face mask

• Goggles

The school does not bring extra outdoor winter gear on the trip. If anything is forgotten, it is the student’s responsibility to check in with the nurse’s office to see if they have any extra gear as soon as they get to school, prior to loading the buses at 8:30AM.

Students that do not have appropriate outdoor wear will either be left at school or will be required to stay in the lodge

2. Season Pass, if applicable

• All students must bring their Jay Peak Season Pass (if they have one).

• Students that have, but do not bring their season pass may be required to stay in the lodge if there are no extra tickets available this day.

• Students that do not have a season pass can still attend with a suggested donation of $6/lift ticket and $6/rentals.

3. Arrival at Jay Peak

• Students should arrive at school no later than 8:20, check in to their morning TA, then proceed to the cafeteria.

• School staff will assign students to small groups with either a school staff member or a parent chaperone.

• Students will board buses with their assigned group and chaperone.

Please be aware that students will return back to school around 3 pm and will be able to take their regularly scheduled transportation home.

Private Transport

• When students sign up for the ski trip, there will be a question that asks “Parent Drop Off”/Parent Pick up”. Parents do not need to notify the school unless something changes after the student has signed up.
