Please be aware:
Please be aware:
- You will be given paperwork to fill out regarding your field study days- fill them out and return them to your homeroom teacher by the due dates.
- Your homeroom teacher MUST approve your plan BEFORE you do it.
- You are required to turn in a written report about how you spent your day and what you learned from the experience.
- Field Study days are still school days- you are expected to do the plan that has been approved. If you do not- it will be marked as an unexcused absence.
One last note: these activities can be done on the weekend closest to the actual Field Study Day if you cannot do it on the actual day.
