March 4, 2008 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.
