Hello Parents!
Thank you for your time and commitment to your scholar, your partnership is truly essential, and we thank you for that! We enjoyed sharing your child's progress and setting goals for the next quarter. Please read on for more information about the learning to come!
Field Trip:
Here are some important details for the field trip:
We will be leaving school at 8:30am, spending most of the school day at the museum, and arriving back at school around 2:00pm.
Items to label with name in black marker:
Lunch will be eaten at Desert Horizon Park, and we ask that you pack an easy-to-eat lunch for your child (lunches will be in a cooler). Please, put your child’s lunch in a brown paper bag with his/her name written on it in black marker.
Large disposable water bottles are ideal, as it is a long day. His or her water bottle for the day should also be disposable with his/her name written on the top.
We would like each child to bring a snack with his/her name written on it as well, because the ride to the museum is lengthy.
Please make sure all food/drink items are disposable, as we do not want the students to lose any of their belongings at the museum.
There will be no vending machines or gift shop stops while at the museum, so children will not be able to buy their lunches or snacks.
Please let your homeroom teacher know if you can donate a cooler and ice! We need them urgently. Thank you!!!
You may send a hat and sunglasses with your child since we will be eating and playing outside after the museum, and please apply sunscreen before dropping your child off at school. The students are still expected to wear their uniform, as they are representing our school.
We are very excited for our field trip, and we know it will be a wonderful experience for everyone.
