MISCELLANEOUS

! Students should not be in possession of any medication, prescription or nonprescription, without a doctor’s approval. If students take medication before school and/or in the evening, authorization for the administration of medication will need to be given. (Please complete the Authorization for the Administration of Medication Form.) A group leader will administer all medications. Please turn medications into Mrs. Prieto in their original container/package no later than Monday, March 13th. This will help departure morning run more smoothly. Emergency medication kept at school will be traveling with us to the Space Coast.

! Students are permitted to bring portable electronic devices including cell phones. iPads are strongly discouraged. CDS is not responsible for lost or stolen devices, or for the content and use of these devices. We trust that parents have approved of downloaded content and have reviewed appropriate use with their child. If a chaperone feels that a device is not being used appropriately it will be confiscated and returned to the parent after the trip. Students not bringing communication devices will be permitted to use their designated chaperone’s mobile phone to contact their parents as needed. Students will not have access to Wi-Fi on the bus or at the hotel, as these are untrusted networks.
