This Is the Place Field Trip Information!
In preparation for our 4th-grade field trip on Thursday, October 6th, there are a couple things we need to make sure everyone is aware of.
Students and the chosen class chaperones need to be on time (8:25 am) to school that morning. Chaperones, please pay your admission fee at Quest ($7). The bus will be loaded promptly at 8:45am. We will be traveling by bus to “This Is The Place Heritage Park” in Salt Lake City. Since the bus ride is about an hour long, students are allowed to bring a book or small cards to play with on the bus. NO ELECTRONICS — including cell phones will be permitted. Cell phones will not be allowed because they can’t be safely monitored by teachers. Please go over with your student proper bus behavior before that morning. We should arrive at “This Is The Place” around 9:50-10:00 am.
Students will still be required to wear their school uniforms on the field trip. Students will also need to bring a light jacket or hoodie with them as we will be at the base of the canyon and it tends to have chilly mornings. They may bring along a small water bottle as well. Each student will also need a backpack that day to hold their jackets, lunches, and water bottles. If they ordered school lunch they would receive it that morning to carry. If they are bringing home lunch, make sure to bring it (students will not share food).
We will be reloading buses at 1:00 pm and will arrive back at school at about 2:05 pm. Your students will be back in time for the normal after-school pick-up.
If you have not already taken care of the $5 student fee, please pay at the office or online here: ONLINE PAYMENTS marking “other” and typing Chaparro field trip. Please pay this fee A.S.A.P.
We hope for a fun day with all of our students.
Thanks
The 4th-grade teachers
