Aldridge Fifth Grade

Fifth grade has our Wilson field trip on Wednesday, November 5 from 9:00 AM to 2:15 PM.

We will be eating lunch at Wilson as part of the field trip, so we will be taking sack lunches (please use only items that can be thrown away).

Please let us know if your child needs to get a sack lunch at Aldridge by checking the appropriate box on the google form.

There will NOT be paper permission slips sent home, so please click on the link below to fill out the Google permission form. Your child should attend this event regardless of what middle school he/she will be attending.

We MUST have the completed Google form by 3:00 pm on Tuesday, November 4 for your child to be able to attend.
