8th Grade Georgia Trip Permission Form We are proud to offer the Autrey Mill eighth grade students an exciting and educational trip to Savannah, GA. The Georgia Trip will take place on Thursday, October 28, 2021 through Friday, October 29, 2021 and will include visits to First African Baptist Church, Fort Jackson, River Street, Forsyth Park, and historic tours of Savannah. The trip is being sponsored by Autrey Mill Middle School’s 8th Grade Social Studies Department. We will be leaving before school on October 28th and returning in the evening of October 29th. We will have forty staff chaperones with an expected ratio of 12 students for every adult. We will travel to Savannah in luxury motor coaches. While in Savannah, 8th Grade Georgia Studies comes to life as students will visit places of historic interest. We also offer students some social time with shopping on River Street Park and an evening riverboat cruise and dance. The cost of the trip is $240. We feel all students will benefit from this activity; however, attendance is not required and in no way affects a student’s instruction or grade. We do reserve the right to cancel this field trip if sufficient money is not available to cover all costs. Any student who receives a suspension (ISS or OSS) or multiple disciplinary referrals prior to the trip will be ineligible to attend the trip (this is at the discretion of the administration). All payments and permission forms are due FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2021. Permission Form or Opt Out Form Both parent and student need to sign the Permission or the Opt Out form.
