• 2nd Grade Field Trip - Second Grade will be going on a field trip to KidZania on Tuesday, April 11th. The learners will explore immersive hands-on, real-world jobs in diverse fields that align with our second-grade TEKS. This field trip will allow our second graders to engage in role-play and participate in realistic experiences. 

We will be leaving school around 9:00 AM. We won't be arriving back to school until around 2:00 PM. Lunch will be provided by KidZania and will consist of 2 slices of cheese pizza from Pie5, apple slices, and a choice of juice or water per student. 

The cost of the field trip is $19.00 including admission to KidZania and lunch. The attached permission slip needs to be signed and returned with cash only by Friday, March 31st. All parts of the permission slip need to be filled out for your child to participate in our field trip. We ask that you send exactly $19.00, as change will not be given. 

KidZania is limiting the number of chaperones to a total of 15 (5 per class). If you would like to chaperone, please email your child's homeroom teacher by Friday, March 10th. If we have more interest than the number of chaperone spots available, we will be doing a drawing. The cost of a chaperone's admission to KidZania is $10.00, but please do not send in your money until you have been notified that you will be chaperoning. You will need to take your own car or carpool to KidZania. If you are planning on chaperoning, please remember that younger siblings are not able to attend the field trip with us. If you have any questions, please contact your child's homeroom teacher. All chaperones MUST have a CISD Background Check for the 2022-2023 school year filled out no later than Friday, March 24th to chaperone.
