We finally heard back from the Hogle Zoo! Our new field trip date is confirmed and scheduled for Thursday September 22nd! We will be leaving the school at 9am and getting on the buses at the Hogle Zoo to come back to the school at 1pm. So, hopefully this still works with some of your schedules. 

Below is the list of parent chaperones who signed up at Back to School Night.  I realize that when you first signed up, we were planning on our field trip being on Sept. 6th, so I am not sure if the following parents are still able to come.  If you are still able to come, or if you didn’t sign up, but would like to, please send an email to Mrs. Dunmeyer.  We are only allowed to have 5 parents ride the bus with us, so the rest will need to drive separately. It appears that we already have enough parents signed up to ride the bus. Younger siblings may come with you as long as you drive separately and plan on paying zoo admission for them. Chaperones will need to bring a backpack to carry lunches for their group and bring a sack lunch for themselves.

Please plan on students wearing red shirts and uniform pants to the zoo, with good walking shoes. Students will need to bring a sack lunch from home that does not require a microwave, labeled with their names. School lunch will not be served.

• This entire week (Wednesday through Friday) we have early-out days, so school will be dismissed at 1:00 on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
• Lunch is at 11:30 each day, so we will still have lunch on early-out days.  Please plan accordingly.
• After school, I will be walking the students out through the “Kindergarten doors” (East doors), and we will be walking around to the front of the building to the tree that is just outside our classroom window.  To keep students from getting lost in the crowd, I will be asking them to hold on to a jump rope until we make it to the tree.  If you see your child before we approach the tree, please allow us to make it to the tree before you call him/her to you.  That way, we can keep all the students together until we reach the tree!  If you would like your child to meet you somewhere else, that is fine, but please allow us to make our way to the tree first, and then your child can go to your designated spot.  Thank you for your help with this!
