More Tour Information:
- Don't forget that you must have a 2.0 and no more than one 'F' (let's shoot for zero!) on your term 3 report card. This is absolutely non-negotiable in any way, shape, or form. Please don't ask for exceptions. You will have to sell your spot if you want your money back from the trip if you are unable to go on tour due to grades. I will be meeting with any students going on tour who did not meet the grade requirements for term 2 so we can discuss how you will be improving your grades for term 3.
