Dear parents,
I know several of you have been asking about transportation arrangements in getting the students to the STARBASE camp. Things have become more complicated recently, due to increased security on Base (of course this is a good thing). In order to facilitate this process, the organizers of STARBASE sent us the following information. They will be providing a bus for us to escort the students and teachers onto Base:
After speaking with you I feel like we have a good plan to set in place for Maria Montessori’s transportation while at STARBASE. I will attach a document that provides the address and map to the Hill Aerospace Museum. It will also have some instructions for the drivers of where to park and what the contingency plan is if the bus is not an option.
I will need a list of all the drivers and passengers 16 years or older that will need to get on base. Please have them fill out the form “Transportation for base access” attached to this email. I will need this information by January 2nd. Please make parents aware once that information is turned over to security forces we will not be able to add any drivers.
One last thing, I can not press upon you enough to relay to your parents driving students not to be late dropping off or picking up. The use of the base bus is a courtesy that has been extended to STARBASE and we do not want to keep them waiting; especially if they have other routes.
I will be sending out the documents, that are referred to in the information above, at the beginning of next week. Again if you could return any pertinent ones to me ASAP that would be really appreciated!
Thank you for supporting our students in their science education!
John
