Behavior Contract and Cell Phone Agreement: This is a double-sided form in the packet. Please read over the behavior and rules regulations along with the cell phone usage agreement with your child. Students must abide by the policies set forth by Wayland Middle School regarding behavior and the appropriate use of technology at all times during the trip. These forms must be signed by both students and parents/guardians.

For prescription medications administered on the trip you may want to contact your child's physician about PillPacks. If your child will be administered any prescription medication on the trip these are individually packaged by the pharmacist. This is the website with information about the PillPacks. PillPacks CLICK HERE. Otherwise any medications to be dropped off for administration must be in their original container/package with your child's name on it.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to fill out all of these forms and return them back to your child's homeroom teacher so promptly. The safety of the kids is the top priority while on the trip and we want to ensure that staff are prepared to keep all the kids safe and healthy while in D.C.
