Disney Updated Statement ...Please Read.. 3-19-2020

Dear parents and guardians of Eastern View fine arts students,

In response to the rapidly evolving situation around the coronavirus (COVID-19), Eastern View High School and Culpeper High School have decided to cancel the Walt Disney World field trip originally scheduled for the end of this month. This decision was made in response to several factors including Walt Disney World closing its Florida parks through March 31, the risk of exposure to COVID-19 for a large group clustered together at an amusement park, the closing of businesses across the nation, the state emergency issued by Gov. Northam, the Federal recommendation barring gatherings of more than 10 people, and guidance from the school administration.  While the decision is difficult, these uncertain times require thoughtful and decisive action for the health, safety, and well-being of our students, educators, and volunteers—this is our top priority. We are working with Four Seasons Tours, our travel company for this trip, to resolve all of the details of this cancellation including the matter of refunds. At this moment, we are unaware of what amount will be refunded due to potentially different refund policies of the various vendors booked for this trip. We will be communicating information to you and processing refunds as we get more updated information. All fundraising monies will go back into the Choir Boosters account for future use. 

Please contact Mrs. Richtarski, Mr. Ballard or Dr. Addo should you have questions @ trichtarski@culpeperschools.org 

We will get back to you via email or telephone. We are available to conduct a video conference via google meet.

Thank you for your patience and support of EVHS Fine Arts programs.  

Be safe and be well!
