3rd Grade Trip to Lansing

Dear Families,

On Tuesday, April 9, 2019 your child will have the opportunity to go on an exciting field trip to our state capitol. Please note that the field trip will be the second day back from spring break. This trip is offered as enrichment to our social studies curriculum. As part of our study this year, we have been learning about Michigan’s history and our Federal government. While in Lansing, we will tour both Capitol and the Michigan Historical Museum.

Due to the travel time needed to get to Lansing, we will leave school around 7:20 amand return at 3:15 pm, in time for regular dismissal. You need to provide transportation to school. Please have your child at school no later than 7:00 am. We will be traveling on buses with bathrooms.

Students and parents who join us will need to bring a bagged lunch that day. We hope that many parents will be able to chaperone. The tours ask us to have a chaperone for every five students, so about 4-5 chaperones per class. If you are a chaperone you must be registered with the school office and background check all cleared. The process takes 2 weeks. Please call Ms. Debbie, if you have any questions about the process.

Students are able to bring disposable cameras, if they choose. But they may not bring iPods, iPads, video games, cell phones, etc. Cameras that are part of cell phones are not allowed. Also, please do not send snacks for the bus ride.

Please return the attached permission slip by March 22, 2019. If your child is unable to attend, please write, “My child will not be attending the field trip” on the permission slip, sign and return. Students must follow the River Oaks expectations and core values to be part of this exciting opportunity. If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Sincerely,

Ms. Alsaidi

Mrs. Attia
