Based on current enrollment and trends we have seen in the past few years, we have made the decision to change the dates of the 8th grade DC trip to the first week of May to increase enrollment.
New Trip Dates: Friday, May 1st - Monday, May 4th, 2026. Friday May 1st is a non-contact day for students. Monday May 4th will be an excused absence for students.
Original Trip Dates:May 27th - 30th, 2026. After the school year had ended for 8th graders.
We know that students have a better experience when more of their friends are on the trip with them and by making this change, we hope to include more students and create the most memorable, positive experience possible.
If your student would like to join the trip please see the informational flyer here.
Please help us spread the word of our new dates as we are looking forward to an amazing journey to Washington, D.C. with our students! Questions please contact Sarah Smogor at sarah_smogor@dpsk12.net or Sherry Beardshear at sherry_beardshear@dpsk12.net
