FAQs
1. Q: What time does my child need to arrive on December 19th?
A: The bus company (not Granite School District buses, but private bus company buses) has indicated that we will leave the school at 8:30 am. Your child should arrive no later than 8:20 am. If they arrive late, they risk missing the field trip.
2. Q: My child does not have equipment. Where will they get equipment?
A: You will receive a voucher that will allow you to pick up skis with boots or snowboard with boots the night before (Dec. 18th) at no additional cost. You will be responsible to return the equipment after the field trip on Dec. 19. The ski shop will be a local, in town company.
3. Q: What time should I pick my child up from school on Dec. 19th?
A: Students can be picked up anytime after we arrive back at the school. Usually we arrive approx. 1:30 pm. More details to come. They are welcome to stay until the end of the school day, but will need to be picked up due to their ski/snowboard gear.
4: Q: Do you need parent volunteers?
A: Although we love parent volunteers, it is not encouraged on this field trip. Students will be working with instructors at the resort, and parents must pay for a full day lift ticket if they wish to attend, which can be very expensive for being on the mountain for a 3 hours.
