State Capitol Field Trip – Thursday, February 1

Our class is going to the State Capitol Thursday, February 1.   An information sheet was sent home detailing the plans for our trip, but several of you still had questions.  It is my hope that this post will clarify any remaining questions that you may have.

Children should dress in weather appropriate clothing and bring a lunch that does not require heating.  All electronics (iPhones, iPods, iPads) should be left at home.  If your child has a stand alone camera, they are welcome to bring it along to take pictures.  Any device that does not meet the expectations will be taken from the student and will be available for pick up in the office, by a parent, at the end of the school day.

Please be on time!  We will be reviewing field trip and bus etiquette prior to our departure from school.  Students who are tardy will miss important details regarding our trip.

  • 9:00 – Leave MMA via school bus and travel to SLC
  • 10:00 – Daughters of the Pioneers Museum
  • 11:00 – Tour of Utah State Capitol – During this time, we may have the opportunity to see the legislative process in action.
  • 12:00 – Lunch
  • 12:30 – Walk back to the museum to finish our exploration
  • 1:15 – Bus leaves SLC and returns to MMA

Please plan on picking up your children from school at the regularly scheduled end of day.

We have had numerous children out with various illnesses.  If you know your child will not be able to attend, for any reason, it is imperative that you notify me prior to the start of school on Thursday.  We will not be able to wait for tardy students as we are on a very tight schedule.

If you have any further questions, please let me know.
