READ THIS ONE AND THE ONE BELOW IT!

Hello all! Please read the previous post  regarding newbie day.  Secondly, I was contacted by a parent saying there was no information on what to pack.... I know we usually include a packing list in our packet, but if that didn't happen, we will supply packing lists tomorrow at newbie day.  If you are not making it to newbie day, email (smigellj@howellschools.com) and I can email one to you. Here is the bottom line:

Your child may pack one piece of luggage, a bag for bedding (bedding, towels, and toiletries need to brought from home), and their instrument. This basically 2 bags and their instrument. Medical equipment

 obviously does not count toward the luggage count.

School rules apply for this trip. School appropriate clothing, no banned substances. No banned items as per state law and school code of conduct.

Sunscreen, bug spray, flashlights, rain gear, extra musical supplies.  Lyre, flip folder, extra socks, comfortable athletic footwear, bathing suit (optional), sunglasses, all necessary hygiene products, medications (all medications must be checked with the nurse prior to departure). Along with clothing is a good idea. 

We suggest you leave expensive electronics at home (even though we have wonderful kids, why tempt them?), and not to bring undue amounts of snacks, as this invites animals, some of them large and toothy!

Students with special dietary needs need to contact mr. Smigell or ms. Sumner directly so we can make arrangements for your needs.

Ok, as I suspected, I have basically written the whole darn packing list over, hope this is helpful.
