A small backpack will be needed for hiking and biking trips. We encourage the students to bring their cell phones on the field trips for safety and picture taking. Hats, sunscreen and sunglasses are also encouraged. NO JEANS. Hiking boots are fine, but you will also need to bring tennis shoes.
TRANSPORTATION FOR FIELD TRIPS
* Personal transportation will be required at times. In the years past, students and parents have car pooled which has worked well. Please let me and or other parents/students know if you are available to help car pool. As teachers, we are not allowed to drive students with our own private vehicles. I will send out a roster so you can see who is in the class to make transportation plans easier. Students may also drive themselves and or each other.
FIELD TRIP SCHEDULE (off campus field trips) All other time is on campus.
* The students will go on a field trip every day and the rest of the time will be spent at MSHS
