Big Backyard Nature Walk

Please complete this form and return one copy to your SCHOOL NURSE
and one to your SCHOOL SECRETARY at least 1 week before the walk.  
The nurse will then review your class list and inform you of any special
concerns.   

In most cases, the classroom teacher will be present on each nature walk.  However, if there is a child or children in your class with life threatening health problems, YOU will need to be sure to be outside with that  group.

Please be sure to remind parents the day before a walk is taking place.   Advise them how to dress their child (long pants and sturdy shoes and socks if they go in the woods or tall grass) and whether insect repellent or sun screen are necessary  (to be applied at home).  I f your trip is postponed,  please let the office know.
