Third Grade Field Trip: Thursday, November 20
Northwest ISD’s Agriculture Barn at Northwest HS
Dear Parents,
We are very excited to be able to take a field trip to the NISD Ag. Barn. Northwest ISD’s high school students offer a fun day of learning about animals and agriculture at their Agricultural Science center. One of the best perks of this field trip is that it is FREE to attend!!
What do I need to do to allow my child to attend?
Fill out the permission slip that was sent via ParentSquare by November 13.
What does my child need to bring on the field trip?
Weather-appropriate clothing. The field trip to the Ag Barn is OUTSIDE and inside. Students should wear tennis shoes (preferably ones that you don’t mind getting a bit muddy!!) and bring a jacket depending on the weather. A hat or gloves are also recommended if it is cold that day.
Reminders!
Reminders!
Parents- Please label your students items (hats, scarves, jackets, etc) with your child's first and last name. Our lost and found gets pretty full around this season when weather is cold in the morning but hot during recess and students shed those jackets and hats. All items that are labeled are returned to students.
All volunteers need to complete a background check. We would recommend still filling out the volunteer background check form now so that you know you are clear and ready to go when the time comes.
