This purpose of this form is to gather information about parents who would be interested in being a chaperone for the New York trip and are ready to make the first deposit.

This form DOES NOT guarantee you a position as a chaperone as we will more than likely need to use a lottery system.

By submitting the form you agree that you have already completed an iChat form and will adhere to the chaperone guidelines submitted by the district, directors and travel company.
