The planning for the 2022 - 2023 Washington D.C. trip has begun! It is our hope that this experience will significantly add to our students’ appreciation of history, heritage, government and diversity. The 8th graders will be traveling to Washington D.C. Tuesday, May 16 - Friday, May 19, 2023. The trip cost of $625.00 will be made directly to Martin School Travel. Payments cannot be made until after the first parent meetings in September, 2022 in order to gain greater understanding of payment schedule and process, student expectations, medical considerations and requirements, as well as fundraising opportunities.

From now until May 16, 2023 you will find announcements and payment schedules for the upcoming D.C. field trip at this site. I will be posting the dates of our first parent information meetings in the near future!! You must attend one of these meetings if you intend to send your student to Washington D.C.!!!

Washington D.C. Parent Information Meeting:

There will be a meeting on Tuesday, September 6 and on Monday, September 12 in the Canal Winchester Middle School Cafeteria at 7:00 P.M. to enable parents to gather information about the 8th grade field trip to Washington D.C. Parents who intend to have their students go to Washington D.C. MUST attend one of the two meetings!! This is different from past years, but to ensure understanding of all parent and student expectations for the trip it has become a necessary requirement. If you cannot attend one of the two meetings, you will need to schedule a face to face meeting with the trip coordinator to enable your student to attend.
