WHAT TO BRING
6th Grade Spartans need to bring:
- Refillable water bottle

- Wear warm comfortable clothing and shoes
- All their curiosity!!!
LEAVE AT HOME
- Toys, slime, gum, or items that may get lost
FOR OUR CHAPERONES:
To effectively chaperone a field trip using a "pod" of adults (spaced at the front, middle, and back), you should strategically position chaperones to ensure continuous supervision, safety, and pace management. This "sandwiched" approach, where adults act as anchors, ensures the group stays together, prevents gaps from forming, and allows for rapid, consistent, and safe movement of students, especially when traveling between sites.
Event Information
Arcade 6th Grade students will take a school bus to the Sac State University Campus.
THANK YOU TO THE CHAPERONES WHO ARE HELPING MAKE THIS TRIP HAPPEN!
Sack lunches will be provided to all students, but there is a food court on site, should you want to send your student with spending money.
