Teacher Tips for Field Trips:
Arrival/Start Time
:
Your group should plan to arrive around 10-15 minutes before your scheduled time. Someone will direct you to your hay circle. It is important that the kids go the this area first so we can do our Pumpkin Talk and give them some guidelines about their visit.
Please call 831-234-9354 if you are running late or lost! We can combine 2 classes at a time if needed. We stagger schools for safety and to keep it fun for everyone so please try to be on time. Thank you!
Parents
:
We welcome parents and encourage them to attend with their child.
