Pertle Springs Field Trip

Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians;

There are some factors we should prepare for if we are to have a successful field trip next week.

1. Listen to the weather forecast and dress appropriately for being outside for about one hour. Consider clothing that reduces bug bites and poison ivy...Long pants are suggested. We will spray ankles with bug repellant (PROVIDED BY MRS. SMITH) as we get on, or off, the bus.

2. If there has been rain, bring an old pair of shoes to wear in the field and a bag to transport them back home.

3. If you have allergies that require medication, please use them before you come to school on the day of the field trip.

4. If there is the chance that you will need an inhaler or other medicines with you on that day, please be sure that they are checked in with the school nurse ahead of time so that she can check them out to me for the trip.

5. The length of our trip is limited, so come to class promptly! Get your drinks and go to the bathroom before class. There are no facilities "in the field".

6. Remember to be on your best behavior, complete your assigned field work efficiently, and represent our school proudly.

The field trip will occur during your regularly scheduled science class according to the following schedule:

Red Day Students - Tues., Sept. 28, 2004 (OR, in case of rain, Thurs., 9/30)

White Day Students - Wed., Sept. 29, 2004 (OR, in case of rain, Fri.,10/1)

RETURN THE LOWER HALF OF THIS PAPER BY MONDAY, SEPT. 27, 2004
