Important Information for 8th Grade Families

Mount Pocono Resort Trip Refunds

April 9, 2020

Dear Class of 2020 Parents and/or Guardians:

First and foremost, we hope this letter finds you and your families health and well during this international crisis. As you probably already know, Baldi remains available to support you through these trying times, including helping you find available resources and supports in your area. Please reach out to us with questions and concerns.

The sudden closure of schools has done more than interfere with our instructional program. For our 8th grade students in particular, it also has meant the inability to enjoy all the wonderful end-of-year experiences we had been looking forward to all year, among them, our trip to Mount Pocono Resort.

While the deposits you paid for the Mt. Pocono trip are probably not the first thing on your mind at the moment, we wanted to assure you that Baldi will be providing a full refund directly to you for any and all deposits given for the trip.  It is uncertain to say for sure when we will be able to begin processing these refunds, but it’s safe to say they will most likely occur later in the fall. We will be sure to reach out to each of you regarding this as soon as the plan and timeline are finalized.

As for your child’s Move Up Day (graduation), we are brainstorming a variety of ideas to reunite and celebrate your child’s success and achievement, including an afternoon weekend gathering at Baldi in the fall.  Stay tuned for more information.

We wish you and your family continued good health. Again, please reach out to your child’s advisor or Mrs. Nuskey, 8th Grade Assistant Principal at jllevy@philasd.org with any questions, concerns, or needs.

Sincerely,

8th Grade Team
