Grade 5 Victoria
Field Trip on June 5, 2014
Dear Grade 5 Parents/Guardians, April 23, 2014
It is hard to believe, but the
annual Grade 5 field trip to Victoria will soon be here! We will be going to Victoria on Thursday, June 5,
2014. This trip includes visiting the BC Museum and the Legislature and
fits into our Social Studies Government
unit. For this field trip, we will be
leaving VCS at 7:00 a.m. SHARP and will return to the school around 7:15 p.m. As this trip is still more than a few weeks away,
we will not include all of the details in this letter, but will include a more
detailed schedule and instructions closer to the date of the field trip.
We require parent chaperones for this trip
who are willing to be leaders of a small group of students for the entire day as
well as follow our guidelines for the field trip (will be given out once
chaperones are chosen). We will be taking busses and ferries, so we do not
require drivers for this trip.
This field trip always generates a lot of
interest among parents to chaperone.
Unfortunately, we are only able to take 5 parent chaperones from each
class for a couple of reasons:
1.)
We
only take one bus to the various locations – we already have 47 students to fit
on the bus as well as a number of chaperones.
We cannot take an unlimited number of chaperones for transportation
reasons.
2.)
This
is a year-end class trip for students to deepen relationships with one another, not primarily a parent-child bonding
time.
We
hope that you understand these reasons provided. If you are interested in volunteering as a
chaperone, please indicate that on the form below. We will send a note home by May 6th
notifying those parents who will be needed as chaperones (so that there is
sufficient time to book time off work if necessary).
Sincerely,
Mrs.Redfern
and Mr. Wu
Grade
5 Teachers
Permission form: (sign and
