What this document actually says

This document lists all planned field trips, assemblies, and enrichment activities for the 2025-26 school year across all grade levels (PreK-8th grade). Activities include educational field trips like 4th grade's overnight Gold Rush trip to Coloma ($24,495), 5th grade's NatureBridge at Golden Gate ($40,000) and Walker Creek ($50,000), along with assemblies like author visits, cultural performances, and SEL programs. Many activities are funded by PTA, grants, or are free. The district estimates $32,000 in bus transportation costs. Activities align with curriculum in science, social studies, language arts, performing arts, and social-emotional learning (SEL). Dates range throughout the academic year with most concentrated in spring.

What this means for your family

Your child will participate in grade-specific field trips and assemblies throughout the year, many at no cost to families. Some overnight trips (4th-5th grade) require parent fees. Activities connect to classroom learning in science, history, arts, and social-emotional development. The board is approving this schedule to ensure educational experiences beyond the classroom are available for all students.
