Important:

Outdoor Ed is fast approaching this year. This field trip is a special one for our 6th graders and we encourage all students to come! This year, we will be going to Thousand Pines Outdoor Science School from October 22nd- 25th. Since the trip is so soon in the school year, the 6th grade team finds it best to provide you with some information to consider.

• There is a $350 co​st that covers all of the trip's expenses: bus rides, site accommodations, activities, as well as a camp t-shirt and sweatshirt. Please note, that while it is permissible under state law for IUSD to collect fees for field trips, all students will be allowed to participate regardless of whether a contribution is made
• You can begin registering your child on CampDocs and provide release/health information. To do so, please access the following link. For instructions on how to use Camp Docs, access the instructions.

We'll talk a bit more about Outdoor Ed at Back to School Night and we'll send more information as the date approaches.

Make today awesome!
