What this means for your family
Students at all grade levels will participate in educational field trips and enrichment programs throughout the year at no direct cost to families for most activities. Younger students will enjoy farm visits, ferry rides, and author assemblies, while older students attend overnight science camps and history trips. These experiences enhance classroom learning in science, history, arts, and social skills. The district is maintaining robust enrichment programming while reducing overall costs slightly from the previous year.
