(1) The Discover China trip provider (Keystone) requires participants to create a profile on their app, which substitutes the printed waiver forms. You’ll also be able to access packing list and detailed itinerary. To register, follow these steps before Friday April 19th.

Go to http://program.keystone-adventures.com and enter the trip ID (171) and your student code (Xu3bdU). Follow the steps and enter your information accurately.

(2) We will have a meeting on Monday at 3:15 in the LGR for all students in Grade 12 to let you know the latest (and likely final) itinerary and answer any questions you might have about the trip.

Thanks!
