Outdoor Lab News!

Dear Parents:

The Outdoor Lab trip is quickly approaching and we are eager to take this adventure again with our third grade students.  Ms. Coffman and Mrs. DiNardo will be visiting the lab on Monday, November 4.  Mr. Grasso, Mrs. Strickland, and Ms. Weaver will be visiting on Wednesday, November 6.  Please read the attached information and complete/return the permission slip if you have not already done so. As noted, appropriate attire is required:  long pants, comfortable walking or hiking shoes (no open toes), socks, jackets, gloves, hats, etc.  The temperatures are often several degrees lower at the lab so please dress in layers!

Please note that the facility has requested a maximum chaperone count of 10 adults.  For this reason, your teacher may need to limit the number of parents who can join us on this trip.  Furthermore, on Wednesday, November 6 there is no available bus space for parents so we must ask that our chaperones carpool and meet us at the lab.  On Monday, November 4, there is a bit more space but chaperones are still welcome to avoid the long bus ride and to meet our group at the lab.  Your teacher will provide directions to the lab if you are able to join us.  We prefer that all students ride on the bus to the lab.  Please contact your teacher if you desire to drive your child in your personal vehicle as a special form must be completed for this purpose.

Finally, please note too that we all will be eating lunch at the lab.  All students and chaperones should bring a packed lunch and water bottle.  Snacks will be provided at the facility soon after our arrival.  There is no other food available for purchase at the lab.

If you have any further questions, you may contact your homeroom teacher.  As always, thank you for your cooperation and assistance in helping to make this another wonderful learning experience for our third grade community.
