Childcare provided free of charge in our school’s aftercare program.
JOY WILL BE TAKING 2ND/3RD GRADE STUDENTS TO THE MONTEREY BAY AQUARIUM FOR A SELF-GUIDED TOUR AND A PICNIC LUNCH ALONG THE RECREATION TRAIL. MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW. SHE WILL NEED PARENT CHAPERONES.
This event will be similar to last year’s “casino night” with some tweaks: music, food, and games. The date is a placeholder. We’ll let you know when it’s official.
Rosy and Tara will take the kindergarten class on this field trip, departing school at about 10:15, returning by 12:45pm. Kids should have car seats, a packed lunch, a water bottle and dress in layers. We will need one or two parent chaperones. Stay tuned for more details.
From the museum:
“The First Peoples Program is one of the Museum’s oldest and most popular programs. We strive to respectfully and accurately represent local native tribes, their history, and their culture. The key terms and themes of this program have been thoughtfully and intentionally created with input from tribal consultants from the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, as well as feedback from teachers and docents who have participated in this field trip. We continue to regularly update our program and supporting materials to reflect the most up-to-date information available.”
Ride to school from home and/or meet up at 8:15 on Quail Run Road with fellow Orchardites to ride the last two miles safely together. Parents welcome! At least one teacher will be there to facilitate. Kindergarteners and other beginning riders may ride over the bridge from the parking lot and enjoy bike riding on the field at recesses. Helmets a must. Unicycles, scooters, walking, giraffe unicycles welcome with prior approval from Rock.
This is an all school event. Students will participate in a short performance followed by a celebration of our graduates. We’ll end with a zero-waste, finger-food potluck.
Meet on the kinder deck at 12:30! Kindergarten family and friends only. Ceremony followed by potluck. You may take your children home early or hang around with them until 3pm.
Let’s end the year how we began: a family beach day at Platform’s Beach. Everyone welcome. Bring a picnic, sand toys, and beach games. Drop off your child or stay and frolic with us.
And that’s a wrap! Half day and no hot lunch! Have a great summer Orchard families!
Our last Friday is a minimum day — School ends at noon. Families may set up tents then and return to the campout no earlier than 7pm.
