Important: Please Check Your New York Trip Status
At this point, all students travelling to New York should have registered on-line with World Strides. Students should also have submitted all required forms disseminated at the trip meetings, which are also available on our website.
We need for each student to log-in to the CHARMS system to see that we have received all the required forms. Once you’ve logged into CHARMS, there will be an icon named “Forms Collected”, and you need to ensure its all there:
- Notarized Medical Forms
- Medical Insurance Cards (copies)
- Overnight Trip Permission Forms
- Student Administered Medical Forms
For detailed information on Charms instructions, guess what…we have a Charms Information Webpage, check it out!
Questions? Please e-mail Sharon Saxton, your LHSOA Co-Secretary.
