As we prepare for these trips, please be aware that in the event that a school nurse is unavailable to attend the trip, we will be using emergency protocols that include calling 911 for medical emergencies.
Permission slips will come home at least a month prior to the trip to allow for collection of funds, as well as to gather interest in parent/guardian chaperones. If interested in chaperoning the trip, please simply check off the respective area on the permission slip and the staff will work to randomly select the necessary number of chaperones from the names of all parents/guardians interested in attending. Those selected will be notified of pertinent information, including cost to attend the trip, as well as Chaperone Guidelines.
In regards to funds for the trips, please be sure to send in exact change/cash or a check made payable to Nixon School. Also, thank you to the Nixon School PTA for helping to off set the cost of each grade level's field trips by $200 each.
