Dear 5th Grade Families:
Fifth grade is excited to announce that we are planning a
big field trip to Atlanta this spring!
Students will ride on a charter bus to the Center for Puppetry Arts to
see a performance, eat lunch at the Hard Rock Café, and visit Zoo Atlanta. The cost of the trip is $70 per student. We are especially excited to announce that
the Union County Board of Education is paying for half of each student’s trip,
so your cost will be only $35.
(If you have an opportunity, please thank the BOE for their generous
contribution!) Full payment for the trip
is due no later than February 17, 2016.
(We welcome your full or partial payment immediately, as outlined
below.) Please indicate your intentions
for funding your portion of this field trip, below, and return the bottom
portion only.
On Tuesday, May 17, 2016, the classes of Mrs. Davis, Mrs.
Dyer, Dr. Martin, and Mr. Rheault will be going to Atlanta. On Wednesday, May 18, 2016, the classes of
Mrs. Cook, Ms. Duckworth, Ms. Hood, Mrs. Hughes, and Mrs. Lee will go. On both days, students must arrive at school
by 7:00 AM and be picked up at school promptly at 6 PM. (Please note that regular school bus
transportation is NOT available these days for students going on the field trip;
students must make alternate arrangements for this day only to get to and from
school. If they ride the regular bus to
school that day, they will miss the trip.)
Also, please note that this letter is not a permission slip but rather a
planning tool. Permission slips will be
sent home in May. Only students who pay
or fundraise for their portion will be able to attend.
Finally, due to bus and venue seating limitations, each
class is allotted a set number of chaperones.
Being a chaperone is a great responsibility. You will be in charge of several students at
all times on the trip. Other siblings
are not allowed to attend. Chaperones
must pay the full price of $70 per person to attend the trip. If you are interested in chaperoning your
child’s trip, please send in your refundable deposit of $35 or payment in full
of $70 no later than 10/30/15 (checks payable to UCES or cash in a labeled
envelope). If a classroom has more
interested chaperones than spots available, a lottery-type drawing will be held
to determine which chaperones may attend.
Parents will be notified after November 1 of their chaperone status,
with full payment due no later than 2/17/16.
(Parents who were not drawn will be put on a waiting list in case a spot
opens up, but deposits will be returned.)
If you have any questions about the trip, paying for the
trip, or chaperoning, please contact your child’s teacher. We look forward to a great day on May 17 and
18!
Thank
you!
The 5th Grade Teachers
Please cut and return
the bottom portion by Friday, 10/16/15.
