Dear Parents/Guardians,
A field trip has been planned for the Advanced Placement Biology
students to the Museum of Natural History in New York City on Tuesday March
25. This date happens to be a Superintendent’s Conference Day and there will
not be buses available. Therefore the students will need to arrange a ride
to and from school. The students will be leaving John Jay High School at
7:30am and returning around 4:30pm. The purpose of the field trip is for the
students to experience the various halls within the museum, with a focus on
the Hall of Biodiversity and the Hall of Human Origins.
The students will be in the IMAX Theater from 10:30 – 11:15am and then will
be entering the museum. Each student will be responsible for answering
questions within the Hall of Biodiversity and Human Origins. We will be
leaving the city at 2:30pm. The cost for students and chaperones is $10.00
each; this includes the IMAX movie and entry into the museum. We will be
taking Wappingers Central School District buses, so there is no cost for
transportation. The students are to bring money for lunch at the food court
and if they want to purchase items at the gift shop.
Our payment needs to be mailed about two weeks before our trip.
Therefore, kindly sign the bottom portion of this sheet and send either cash
or a check made out to cash by March 12. If you have any questions please
feel free to contact me at 897-6700 x 200. Please make me aware of any
medical issues your child might have by writing them in the space below.
Please also include a contact number. Thank you.
