Parent Meeting
5th Grade Camp is coming up and these kids are excited! We will have a parent information meeting on Thursday, September 10 at 6 pm in the Reeves cafeteria. We hope everyone can make it so that questions can be answered, details shared, and you can hear all about the fun activities that will make this trip a memorable experience for your child. We will be sending more information soon, but we figured we’d get a few basics out to you right now.
What and When?
We cannot wait to take these wonderful 5th graders on a remarkable Outdoor Education adventure and we are even more excited to watch them experience it! The administrators at Reeves and PISD have made a thorough search for the highest quality outdoor education program, and they have selected the program at Sky Ranch.
Sky Ranch is located near Van, TX, an hour and a half east from Dallas. It has been in operation for over 60 years and has been a long-trusted name in quality programming for children. The curriculum and staff are outstanding. This program is to serve as an extension of the classroom, delivering educational content in alignment with the Texas Standards, especially science. You can feel secure about your child's participation in hands-on activities which will develop their awareness, appreciation, and understanding of the outdoor environment. SKY RANCH SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Students will leave for Sky Ranch the morning of Wednesday, October 28 and return to Reeves mid afternoon Friday, October 30. Get ready for the excitement from your child!
