Chaperone • If your parent is an approved chaperone please let them know the following rule from Cobb County: IFCB-R: Chaperones may not bring other children on the field trip.
DO NOT FORGET LUNCH Options for lunch: • Bring money to buy lunch at the zoo… you will need 10-20 dollars • Bring lunch from home in your string book bag or purse (be sure drinks do not leak and nothing needs refrigeration) • Sack lunch. You will pick it up during breakfast. Go to the cashier and ask for a sack lunch.

Remember you are representing Tapp Middle School, your zoo leader, your chaperones and yourself • We will not be the only people at the zoo. • Please be respectful to those around you. Open doors for others, let little children go in front of you if they can not see and show everyone how wonderful we are!!!
Have a good attitude tomorrow! We will be outside and not sitting in a classroom!!!!
