The fifth grade will have a one (1) chaperone to five (5) students ratio. The school will pay for chaperones’ transportation and admission fees. Parents will be randomly drawn from each class to chaperone, please note that if you are a chaperone you cannot bring other children with you on the field trip. Parents that chaperone are not to purchase food or other items for students in their group, except their own child. We will not be taking extra parents with us on this field trip.

Signed Filed Trip Permission Form is due back at the school no later than Friday, November 18th so we can get a count of those students going to the planetarium and museum and let parents know who will be chaperoning.
Mrs. Shelton–how do we sign up for the field trips as chaperones? I know we like to go to the field trips. (It makes me feel less nervous–I’m sad, I know!)
Also–my mother, Aiden and Isabelle’s grandmother, is a docent at the State Capital and if at all possible, we will want to have her take us on the tour, because she will be able to show us a lot more and actually make it interesting. Would love to talk to you about it!
Thanks again for all you do for Aiden. He thinks you’re a great teacher and we do to.

OMG–I said we do to, not we do too….
Pardon my grammatical error!
LOL! I have set up the Capitol Field Trip but would love to talk to you about it. Let me know what I need to do to make sure she is the one that takes us around! Thanks for hooking us up!
