 Hello families!

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

Parent Actions:

Upcoming Field Trip: Each year 1st grade and Kindergarten do a joint field trip to Denver Zoo. This year we will be going on May 1st. The field trip permission slip came home today and is due back with a 7 dollar check made out to Landmark Academy, on April 14th. I will need chaperones, on the permission slip form please indicate if you would like to be a chaperone (do not email). Chaperones will need to arrive to school, carry student lunches, monitor on the bus, and guide students around the zoo safely. Chaperones must ride the bus and cannot bring siblings. I will email and confirm if you are a chaperone. If you are interested in just meeting us at the zoo, please fill out this HERE.

Field trips are a privilege and are used to extend our learning in a fun new environment. Students who receive 2 or more behavior emails before going on the field trip will not be able to attend. This is to encourage respectful and productive behavior in class and on the field trip. This will start from April 17th till our field trip on May 1st.
