4. For students in 9-11th grades, there will be some academic components to this trip since it is during May Term. These activities will be graded and will count as the whole HF May Term requirement for the year. Some components of this will be:
   • pre-trip, in-classroom preparation,
   • do some research on sites before we see them,
   • post-trip reflection.
5. There will be a parent meeting about one month before the trip. Feel free to email Mr. Dueck with any questions that come to mind before then.
