Students had a wonderful, yet exhausting time on the Red Butte Garden Field Trip. However, it is important that it is understood that field trips are an extension and enrichment of our curriculum. This privilege will be denied students that have poor decision making skills, and their behavior causes safety concerns. Students will also forfeit the proceeding field trip if they request to be checked out upon the return of a field trip. Our learning day will continue after each and every field trip. It is imperative that students understand that they are Doxey Dragons and “we blaze a trail of excellence.. in each and everything we do.” Thank you for your support in promoting excellence! Thank you to our parents that came along as chaperones, we cannot do it without you! Please email any pictures you are willing to share.
