S-Trip is Not a school sponsered trip

We have recently become aware that several of our students are travelling with a company called S-trip. S-Trip is an independent student travel company that creates travel packages for high school and university students. We have spoken with parents who believe travel arranged with S-trip was a school trip. It is not. These trips are not arranged through M. E. LaZerte High School and none of our staff are participating. We have information that a trip is planned in July 2012. These trips are marketed as “grad trips” but are not associated with M. E. LaZerte in anyway. We wanted to share this information with parents so that they can make informed decisions.
