Field experiences are an important part of our curriculum and your child’s education. The experiences are used to enhance the units of study. We will plan many experiences for the calendar year. Some experiences are planned well in advance and other trips have a shorter information turn around period.

• Family chaperones will be selected by lottery for each experience. Please complete this form ( https://forms.gle/XkgodfiBZ1V9Sqe68 ) to be entered into the lottery. 
• Our school requests a traveling NYC DOE school nurse to attend every experience, but unfortunately, they cannot always accommodate our requests. If your child has a 504 please see the main office for further information on our policy for when a school nurse cannot attend.
• Regardless of the type of experience, it is not permissible for students to meet at or be dismissed from a site other than the school.. 
• Please see our Family Handbook for more details regarding field experience expectations and chaperone requirements. 

We follow a classroom community supply model and provide our classrooms with basic supplies to start off the school year. During the first week of school, your child's teacher will send home a suggested supplies list (see below) for their classroom needs. Our teacher’s will communicate with you when supplies should be sent into school, please do not send in any supplies on the first week of school. In addition to the items we provide, we request that each student bring in the following items:

We are always grateful for schoolwide donations. If you would like to make an additional donation, here is a link to our AMAZON wish list (https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/23UGMZ49TJLF5?ref_=wl_share ) which you can use throughout the year to have a donation sent directly to our school.

Thank you so much for helping us stock our classrooms and centers!
