Dear 6th Grade and Multiage Parents/Guardians,

As the school year is quickly getting underway and field trips are the topic of discussion, we would like to give parents the opportunity to make their field trip contributions at the beginning of the school year. Parents will be able to make their payments following the payment plan listed below. All payments should be made by check or money order and made payable to Lebanon Middle School. Please do not send cash with students.

The scheduled field trips for the sixth/multiage grade are: Higgins Armory Museum, Boston Science Museum, Museum of Fine Arts, and Renaissance Faire.

The total cost is $108.00 per student and the payment schedule is as follows:

1st payment of $27.00 by October 26th 2nd payment of $27.00 by November 21st
3rd payment of $27.00 by December 21st 4th payment of $27.00 by January 25th

Failure to make payments will result in the student not being allowed to attend any remaining scheduled field trips.

Parents/guardians who are requesting financial assistance need to meet the same criteria of our free/reduced lunch program. Parents who meet the criteria will be asked to pay one-third of the total field trip cost. Parents are asked to contact Mr. Laskarzewski in writing. Financial assistance will apply only to the grade level field trips.

If parents would like to make a donation to help offset the costs of field trips, please make a check payable to Lebanon Middle School. Any donations will be deposited to a scholarship account that will assist families in financial hardship.

Additional information concerning field trip dates, destinations and permission slips will follow. As well, reminders of the payments will be issued as the dates approach. If you have any questions regarding field trip information, please contact John Klosowski at 642-5656 with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Robert Laskarzewski
Principal
