Planned Field Trips
All Field Trips are on a first come, first served basis and must have a form filled out by you, your parent and teachers. This is non-negotiable. If I don't have a field trip form for you in my possession, you will not be able to go on a field trip with me. This is for safety reasons. Check back often for updates
Field trips allow students to collaborate with their peers, explore new environments, make connections, problem solve, develop trust, and empathy. Students are able to see the world through their own lens during field trips and have experiences they won't have at school.
Field Trip Process for Students
Step 1: Complete the IHS Google Form - This form is to compile the list for students interested in the field Trip.
Step 2: Complete Permission Slip and return to Ms. Thomas in person to Student Services. You must have a pass to come to Student Services
Step 3: Upon return to school you must return to your 4th block class, unless you are a documented early release student. You may not go to another teacher's class and hang out for any reason.
