____________________________________________________________

Every group will be riding the bus through security to tour the Chief Joseph Hydro Dam at some point during your visit. Every adult (bus driver, teachers, and volunteers) will need to have photo identification to get through security. Additionally, classes should be accurately counted and students wearing name tags before heading to the tour to make sure no visitores are unaccounted for. 

____________________________________________________________

Items to be carried by students and adults:

• Each group leader will carry a map, schedule, & a watch or cell phone (not provided) to keep track of time. Please bring your own clipboard if desired.

• Everyone should have a light jacket (that can be tied around the waist) as weather is variable at this time of year.

• Students should not bring back-packs (exceptions, of course, for a medical need).

All adults are encouraged to model learning. Teachers and chaperones:

• Join your students and participate as learners and helpers at stations. Your participation is important to the students’ experiences. (If you must use your cell phone, please do so only between classes and step away from learning area.) 

• Help students stay focused.  Stand near students who need extra attention.

• Support our station teachers by helping students to problem-solve.

Try to stay on schedule.  NO MATTER WHAT, depart on time

• Follow your schedule.  You may need to politely cut-off your station teacher so you can leave on time.  Starting on time is particularly important after lunch. I will be around to announce a 5 minute until the end of lunch reminder.

• It takes time to drive to the dam and get through security so try to get onto the bus quickly before your scheduled tour. 

Restrooms/Drinking fountains

• Facilities are close to our outdoor teaching stations. Please allow students to use restrooms and get a drink between presentations.  

• Students need to check with their group leader before going to the restrooms.

Be mindful of safety at all time.

• First aid kits are available at the Chief Joseph Orientation Area as well as inside PUD facilities.

• Use your cell phone to call for support (see contact numbers above).

• Groups must be accompanied by a tour guide inside the Chief Joseph dam.
