Burr Oak Woods Field Trip Reminder
Wednesday, May 4th
I have added some information to this newsletter at 1:30 p.m. Monday. Please check through and make sure you have the updated information.
Please check the weather to dress your child appropriately for the weather.
Most of our day will spent outdoors.
Arrive at school ON TIME
We will be leaving at 9:30 a.m.
We will return at 1:30 p.m.
We will have picnic lunch at Burr Oaks, so please don't forget your sack lunch.
Sack Lunch
Please make sure your lunch (yours and your child's) are labeled with names. We will place all the lunches in to boxes and coolers to transport them. I encourage the kids to pack lunches in disposable packaging so they don' t have to worry about bringing anything back from the field trip.
Sunglasses, hats, and sunblock
Students may wear hats or sunglasses, but will need to be responsible for them on their own. Please apply sun block before school. I will not have time to get everyone ready to go and help sunblock before we leave in the morning.
Respecting Nature
Please remind your child to be respectful of nature. We will not be aloud to collect or pick anything on our hike on the trails. We will need to stay on the pathways and only touch what we are instructed to touch. Please remind your child to follow these rules.
Parents joining us for the trip...
If you signed up to meet us at Burr Oaks for the field trip, and have a cleared background check, please email me to confirm that you will still be joining us. I plan to divide our class into groups and want to make sure kids are with their parents and we evenly spread adult chaperons out.
*CLARIFICATION: Parents will need to drive and meet us at Burr Oaks. There is not enough room on the bus for parents too since so many parents come along on this trip. Other years, parents have met at school in the morning and carpooled together. Students are not allowed to ride with their families. Students are required to ride the bus with their class to and from the field trip.
