Tannehill Field Trip Reminders

Make sure that your child is on time to school. We will start loading the buses around 8:00 and will leave no later than 8:20.

If you signed your child up to bring his/her own lunch, please remember to do so.

If you signed your child up to buy his/her lunch from the lunchroom, your child will receive it in the morning. Please send a drink with your child as this will not be provided by the lunchroom.

Please do not send snacks. We are NOT allowed to eat or drink on the bus. 

Students may bring their electronic device; however, please remind your child that it is his/her responsibility to keep up with it.

There will not be a gift shop, so please discourage your child from bringing money.

We will arrive back to the school before dismissal.
