Here is an electronic version of the field trip letter that went home today:

October 10, 2017

Dear 4th Grade Parents:

We are excited to announce our upcoming 4th grade field trip to Chattanooga, TN!  We will be visiting Tech Town where we will participate in a session on robotics and coding and a session on 3D design.  Afterward, we will eat a late lunch at CiCi’s Pizza.  (Students may bring a snack for the trip or get a school lunch snack.)  The cost for students is only $14 (payable to UCES).  Our ten classes will be spread out over 5 days to maximize our hands-on learning opportunities.  Each day, the bus will leave at 8 AM and return to UCES at approximately 4 PM.  It is imperative that your child arrive to school on time on their field trip day!  If they normally ride a bus to school, they will be here in plenty of time; however, we cannot hold our field trip bus for any tardy car riders.  Please note that you must make arrangements for afternoon pick up at school.  No buses will be available for afternoon transportation.  Thanks for your help with this!

Also, due to the size of the facility and to maximize the students’ learning opportunities on this trip, very little room is available at Tech Town for parents who are not official chaperones.  We are sorry for any disappointment that this may cause.  We will have many other opportunities at school this year for parent involvement!

Here are the dates for each of the five 4th grade groups:

Monday, 11/13 Cook/Dyer

Monday, 11/27 Hood/Hyde

Tuesday, 11/28 Jordan/Smith

Wednesday, 11/29 Burrell/Colwell

Thursday, 11/30 Todd/Youngblood

On the day of your child’s field trip, students must be at school no later than 7:45 AM.  We will return to UCES at approximately 4 PM.  Please have someone at school to pick up your child.

Please sign & return your child’s permission slip as soon as possible.  Payment for the trip is due no later than the school day before the trip.

Thank you!

The 4th Grade Teachers

*Students MUST have a signed permission slip to go on the trip. Thank you!
