How to set up a Campus Experience:
Teacher Checklist:
Discuss North Star to Nanook field trip with school principal
Follow all applicable district and school protocols for planning and scheduling field trips
Submit the North Star to Nanook Campus Experience Scheduling Request Form (online)
Note: if you are coordinating your field trip with a partner teacher, each teacher must complete and submit a separate request form.
Submit bus request to the school secretary. Note: Transportation for Title I Schools is funded through Student Support Services; contact Student Support Services for account numbers.
Distribute information to students and families: permission/notification and obtain a count of how many sack lunches will be needed
Submit sack lunch requests to Nutrition Services (minimum 10-day advance notice required!)
Recruit parent/family chaperones
On the day of the trip
Check out a p-card from the school secretary to purchase a cookie on campus for each student. Save the receipt!
After the Campus Experience
Submit the receipt for the cookies to the school secretary (contact Student Support Services for account numbers).
Distribute Alaska College Savings Plan booklets to students to take home. (Student Support Services will send booklets to the teacher the week of the field trip).
Complete the Evaluation Survey
After a "North Star to Nanook" Early Campus Experience request has been submitted by a teacher, UAF coordinates with campus faculty and departments to develop a unique experience designed to introduce students to campus life and academic options. Then, UAF sends a confirmation agenda to the teacher detailing the schedule in a Campus Visit Itinerary.
