Description:
Join Andy Lee, PhD candidate at Purdue University for a live discussion on Snails & Climate Change. Climate change poses challenges for many marine animals. To deal with changing conditions, some animals change where they live and others adapt in place. Using genetic data, Andy studies how animals adapt to a changing ocean. This article highlights a bit of Andy's research, reading it in advance may spark some great questions, but is not required!

Field Trip RSVP & Waiver Form Policy
The Parent/Legal Guardian of attendees to a school-sanctioned event must read and fill out the RSVP/Waiver form for that event in order to allow participation in the event. This form is a release of liability and a waiver of certain rights. No student, parent/guardian, or guest of a student may participate in a school-sanctioned event if they have not completed the RSVP/Waiver Form for that event.
Student Driving Authorization
If your student is 16 years old or older and can drive themselves to a sanctioned event, please fill out the Student Driving and Attendance Authorization form before the event. The form must receive the School's High School principal approval to be valid. It will remain valid for the duration of the current school year, unless revoked by the parent/legal guardian in writing.
Masking and Social Distancing Update
Masks are optional at in-person field trips. While Oregon Charter Academy does not require masks to be worn, all attendees must follow local guidelines and any rules set by the venue. Attendees are welcome to wear masks if they would like to do so. Social distancing is now 3 feet.
Food and Pet Policy
This is not a “food focus” field trip; we want to avoid having food at our field trips. ORCA strives to promote a safe, healthy environment for all students during field trips. To avoid the spreading of colds and other illnesses, we ask that you wash your hands when you arrive at this field trip. We also request that unless you require snacks due to a medical condition, that you NOT bring food with you to this field trip. This will allow us to be responsible guests and avoid spreading germs or leaving food debris behind.
Please note that pets, including dogs, are not allowed at ORCA sanctioned events, except for service animals.
