Dear Parents,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• FIELD TRIP INFORMATION:  We will be going snowshoeing on Wednesday, Jan. 18^th!!  I’ve attached the Parks and Recreation permission slip and a bus field trip permission slip.  Both of these permission slips need to be returned.   The city of Pocatello has raised the cost of this activity. The cost is $10.00 which includes the cost of the bus, snowshoe rental, and lesson/guide fee.  The students will also need to bring a sack lunch that day.  They are also welcome to bring extra snacks and plenty of water. (No large water containers please!  Students will be carrying some of the water as they are snowshoeing.) If your child needs any help with the required clothing, please contact me ASAP and I will round up necessary items.  Please send the permission slips and $10.00 to school as soon as possible.  If you have any questions, please call me or e-mail me here at school:  237-4742 or thompsde@d25.k12.id.us .  If you would like to go with us, please let me know.  If you have snowshoes, the cost is $5.00.  We would love the extra help!  We will be sharing a bus with Mr. Gornichec’s 5^th grade class, so any parent wanting to help will have to drive/carpool to the Nordic Center.
