8th Grade HS Field Trip on April 10

Our 8th graders will be going to Madison, Marshall and Oakton High Schools on Thursday April 10th, for their annual activity fair. Almost all 8th grade teachers and counselors will be assigned as chaperones for the trip. Students will be bused over to the high schools around 9:45am. Madison (around 375 students) and Oakton (around 260 students) students will return to Thoreau around 11:45am, eat lunch, and then be sent to 8th period. Marshall students (around 33 students) will return around 12:45pm and will be sent directly to their 8th period class because they will have already eaten lunch while visiting Marshall. All of this information & more can be found on the student field trip permission slips that were handed out to students this week (March 10th) in their science classes. Parents/guardians please be on the lookout for these permission slips because they are due back to your child’s science teacher no later than Friday April 4th. If a student fails to hand in their signed permission slip, they will not be allowed to attend the field trip. If your child is scheduled to attend a high school other than Madison, Marshall or Oakton, please reach out to your child’s counselor!
