FIELD TRIPS!!
Teachers are encouraged to use resources outside the classroom that will make learning more meaningful. When planning a field trip, please ask for a field trip request packet in the office. It has the required approval forms for scheduling a trip. Once approved, please provide the office staff a copy of the class letter emailed home for field trips. This makes information available when / if parents call.
Complete Field trip Approval form and turn into the principal for approval before scheduling your field trip. This must be completed at least 3 weeks prior to the event.
If transportation is needed, please complete a Transportation Request Form (available in the office) and turn it into the office. Notice to transportation must be requested at least 2 weeks in advance. Contact Brian Cruise directly for questions (319) 447-3031.
Please keep in mind space on the bus for associates needing to attend field trip.
Food Service - if you are away from the school during lunch, please notify the kitchen at least 2 weeks prior to the event to be certain we are planning appropriately for food.
Sack Lunches can be provided by the school.
Sack lunch counts need to be submitted to the kitchen manager no later than 1 week before the scheduled trip. Please be certain to include any class allergy concerns with your request.
Give first and last name for every student who is ordering a sack lunch to allow the cashier to bill the student's account. Students who order a sack lunch will be billed for it, even if they bring it home.
Coolers are available in the copy room to keep milk and lunches cold. You will need to grab the large blue ice packs from the freezer in the staff lunge to ensure the milk and lunch are kept cold.
The kitchen manager, Jenna Defenbaugh, can be emailed at jenna.defenbaugh@linnmar.k12.ia.us
4. Notify the HEALTH OFFICE prior to the field trip. The health office will make arrangements for students with health plans or medication needs.
