Kennywood FAQ for Monday's trip:
We are leaving the school at 8:00 AM. If your child is signed up to ride the bus, please make sure they are at the school by 7:45 AM. We plan to leave the park at 3:00 PM and return to the school by approximately 6:00 PM. Students will need to be signed out by a parent/guardian when we return to the school.
Chaperones: We have Pavilion #1 reserved for the day, and you will receive your group list on Monday at the gate.
Kennywood is a cash-free park. Machines are available throughout the park to convert cash into Kennywood cards.
Some rides have height requirements. It would be helpful if you measured your child prior to Monday so they know which rides they may be able to enjoy.
Please dress your child appropriately with comfortable footwear. There are water rides, so clothing may get wet. Students should carry an extra outfit in a bag, as wet clothes cannot be worn on the bus ride home.
The weather looks beautiful, so please apply sunscreen before arriving. Students should also bring a disposable water bottle, as hydration is important throughout the day.
If students purchase souvenirs, they will be responsible for carrying them for the remainder of the trip.
We will meet at the park main entrance to pick up tickets and divide into groups.

Thank you for your patience.
Communications Issue - We are currently experiencing delays in our call system and text messages going out, as our vendor, Apptegy, has said there's a "traffic" back-up currently with their system that they are diligently working to restore.
