DC Date Change
After hearing concerns about the initial dates for the Washington D. C. trip, the school has considered alternative options and looked into all possible solutions to ensure a safe, educational and fun trip for our students. At this time, we plan to move the dates of the trip to a week earlier than originally planned. The new dates of the trip will be Wednesday, October 30 through Friday November 1 of 2024. The change of the dates does not affect any other parts of the trip. If you have already signed your student up for the trip online, paid and/or turned in paperwork you do not need to redo any of this. All of the information for Nowak Travel Agency will automatically update with the new dates. We have also reopened registration for students that may have opted out of the trip because of the original timing for the trip. If you need new paperwork to register your student, you or your student can receive these from the main office at Norton Middle School. Please reach out to Mr. Gaugler or Mrs. Blake at Norton Middle School with any questions or concerns. We thank you for your flexibility and patience in dealing with this matter and look forward to a great trip with the students next fall.
