A NEW reminder about the 8th grade trip!
The trip is starting to fill up, and there are ONLY 13 spots left. The original deadline was a little flexible, and parents can still sign their 8th graders up for this awesome opportunity to visit Universal Orlando.
Information about the Trip--
The cost will cover a 3 night stay at Springhill Suites, park admission for 3 days, breakfasts each morning, and a meal card for $100 that can be used in the parks and/or CityWalk. (Please note: the final cost of the trip is based on how many people are in a hotel room.) There will be a payment schedule available.
A deposit of $225 per person must be made by August 13 to reserve a spot. The registration link is provided below-
Link: https://travelleadersstudenttours.com/CLARKSHAW8thGRADEORLANDO2026
Remember, the trip deposit must be made by August 13th to reserve a spot for this trip. Space is limited, and we must have a total of 45 students and parent chaperones to make the trip happen. Parent chaperones will be expected to oversee their child and a very small group of students.
Once the trip minimum is fulfilled we will have a meeting with students and parent chaperones to discuss further details.

The team will be announced on the website and via social media the week after Labor Day. Mrs. Howell will send more information to the selected team members via the Rooms feature in the MCPSS app.

Parents,
The information is listed below if you need to review bus information for the 2025-2026 school year. We have also copied the link from MCPSS.
https://www.mcpss.com/o/mcps/page/bus-stop-information
(Look for information on magnet schools).
If you are unfamiliar with the bus routes for magnet school, please read below for some information and tips, especially the letter from transportation.
Clark-Shaw is the hub for all magnet school buses. This means all magnet school buses from zone schools come directly to Clark. When students are dismissed from the buses, our students will report to the cafeteria or their location for the morning time. Other magnet school students will board their bus for their school. You need to find your zone bus information for morning drop-off and afternoon pickup.
