Form and Documents
Dear Parents/Guardians,
First off I want to welcome your student to my class I look forward to the adventures that lay ahead. I also want to invite you to join in our adventures. If you are interested in a specific unit or date let me know.
We will also be diving into the great outdoors. This means that your son/daughter will need to be prepared to face the elements. Please look at the list of items that are necessary to keep your child warm and safe as we learn to explore the great outdoors and all it has to offer. Keep in mind weather changes rapidly in Colorado. Students can keep these items at school so they aren’t forgotten at home.
- Sunscreen
- School appropriate Hat
- Closed toed athletic shoes that can get dirty/dusty/muddy
- Boots - When participating in a snowy/cold activity.
- Warm socks (Preferably wool or moisture-wicking to keep feet warm and dry)
- Winter Jacket (Waterproof shell with layers works well if you don't have a waterproof winter jacket)
- Hoodie or Sweatshirt to layer with winter jacket
- Beanie/Warm hat that covers ears
- Gloves or mittens (Waterproof preferred)
- Scarf (Recommended)
- Backpack to carry gear
- Water bottle
*Please note if you are unable to provide any of these items for your student please contact me, our social worker or the main office.
I will be in constant contact via phone calls and notes home to let students know ahead of time which units are up and coming. I also have a student waiver attached to this letter. There will be a few of these you may need to sign and return throughout the next six weeks due to the nature of the units and the companies we utilize to provide these opportunities to our students.
