Newsletter, Spelling List, and Chaperone Letter

Our copiers were out of order yesterday so I was not able to send anything home.  The papers are coming home today (including RAH RAH Reading) and I am also posting them here so that you will be able to access them.

Have a great week!

Cheers,

Ms. Butts

CHAPERONE LETTER

Chaperones,

Thank you so much for volunteering to come to the field trip.  I know some of you are not in charge of a small group, but I am sending you the letter so that you will know the procedure.

We will be departing the school at 9:00am.  You may either arrive at the school and follow the bus to the zoo or you may meet us at the Dallas Zoo at 9:30.  We will go in as a group; I have informed them that you have already paid at the $5.00 rate with the school.  If you have not paid, you may pay the reduced rate at the gate. 

We will meet as a grade level for lunch around 12:00.  More information will be provided on the day of the trip.  I will give you the list of students in your group as well as the time and location of lunch.

We will depart the zoo at 2:00 in order to arrive back at school by 2:30.  If you would like to take your child home from the zoo I will have a sign out sheet with me. There is no need to return to the school; so if you would like to drive your child home, you may absolutely do so.

Thank you for all you do!  I am so excited to spend a fun-filled day at the zoo!

Sincerely,

Ms. Butts
