Chaperones for Aquarium Field Trip

DearFamily,                                                                                    March 20, 2013

 



          We are planning our field trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium for April 26, 2013.  This is a fantastic field trip that we have taken very successfully several times with our first grade classes.  For many students, it is their first time ever seeing an ocean! 

         

We are beginning the planning for this wonderful field trip.  If you would like to be a chaperone and can commit to this date, please complete and return the form below.  It is important to understand two criteria if you are interested in being a chaperone.  One, all chaperones will have to provide their ow





n transportation.  Our room is very limited on the bus because of our large class sizes and we are already three to a seat.  Two, there is a mandatory chaperone meeting that all chaperones MUST attend.  This is a trip we take very seriously for the safety of our little first graders, and we want to be sure we all are fully informed.  The meeting will be held at two different times to accommodate parents as much as possible.

April 10^th at 3:05  and  5:30    (this is also the same night as the Book Fair Parent Night)

Most of all… Please remember that this is a trip designed to be an educational and fun trip for your first grade child, and not a trip to be a vacation-style trip for family.  We want this to focus on the first grade students’ experiences.  Thank you for your support to make this possible!

Please complete and return by Friday, April 5^th   

I would like to be considered a chaperone for the first grade field trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium on April 26^th.
