Question 11.Pdf (1168 Question 11 Please provide a report on all field trips taken last year by school. According to MCPS Form 210-4 (September 2016), Approval for Extended Day, Out-of-Area, and Overnight Field Trips, and MCPS Form 210-6 (September 2016), Approval for Local June Field Trips: Students cannot be denied the opportunity to attend a trip due to financial hardship. A student financial hardship statement must be on the orientation letter. Example: “If you need to make special arrangements to cover the cost of the trip, please contact your child’s teacher in writing prior to the deadline indicated. Any correspondence will be kept confidential.” Funding for students who cannot attend a trip due to financial hardship, is paid through a school’s Individual Activity Fund account. Additionally, noted under Payment on MCPS Forms 555-6 (September 2016), Parent/Guardian Approval for Trips MCPS Transportation Is Provided, and 560-31 (September 2016), Parent/Guardian Approval for Trips MCPS Transportation is Not Provided: Scholarships, reduced fee, or modified payment schedules are available if the cost of the field trip would create a hardship for your family. The following data is based on a review of field trip submissions for 2017-2018. There were approximately 2,100 field trips taken across all schools. Schools that are not on the list did not report any field trips during the 2017-2018 school year. The list is attached. Across all elementary schools, there is a pattern that indicates the number of field trips taken is grade-dependent with grades 2, 4, and 5 taking two times more field trips than other grades. Additionally, elementary schools generally have more field trips than secondary and special schools. Most of the field trips have zero cost and many schools, regardless of school population, utilize MCPS transportation and/or conduct in-school field trips, keeping costs to a minimum. A school may have to schedule a single field trip over several days to accommodate the size of the grade level, scheduling of substitutes, or capacity of the site. Therefore, there may be multiple field trips on the same day to the same location, resulting in an inflated number of field trips. o Example: In the following table, Northwest High School reported 44 field trips during 2017-2018. The highlighted lines indicate field trips that are entered multiple times. If we account for the duplication of trips, the total number of actual field trips is reduced by 11, and results in 33 total field trips. 1 Northwest High School 2017-2018 Field Trips # School Start Date End Date Location 1.

  • ANS Annual Report 2018
    i AUDUBON NATURALIST SOCIETY Annual Report: A Year In Review 2017-2018 1 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Greetings! I’m Scott Fosler, President of the Audubon Naturalist Society Board of Directors. It’s my pleasure to share with you highlights of a remarkable year for ANS. Our Education Program served the largest number of campers and had the strongest revenue outcome for summer camp in ANS history. It helped 3,500 youngsters plant and grow organic salad greens in regional public schools (200 more students than last year). Our new chemistry curriculum on water quality and nitrate pollution was rolled out to high school teachers, thanks to support from the National Park Foundation. ANS staff helped produce our first parent guide to connect children with nature, and it was featured on NBC Washington News Channel 4. Registrations for adults to explore natural areas around Washington reached nearly 2,000. In Conservation Advocacy, ANS worked for greater transparency in stormwater management, and for a final stormwater funding compromise, during a fractious battle between the Montgomery County Council and Executive. Our Creek Critters program surpassed the 10,000-users mark. And we continued our valiant work along the Route 1 Corridor in Northern Virginia. We’ve earned the trust of residents by working with faith communities to educate, train and involve them in advocating for community-oriented green infrastructure solutions to redevelopment. Scott Fosler The new deer fence is now up and already helping native plant communities flourish in Woodend Nature ANS Board President Sanctuary. Restoration plantings included 217 new native shrubs and trees.

  • Annual Report 2020 DEAR FRIENDS, We Are Pleased to Present to You the 2019-2020 Annual Report
    Annual Report 2020 DEAR FRIENDS, We are pleased to present to you the 2019-2020 Annual Report. In these uncertain times, Science matters—now, more than ever. With your generous support the Maryland Science Center continues its mission of underscoring the importance of science education in our everyday lives. In the more than 40 years that the Science Center has operated at its Inner Harbor location it is safe to say that there has never been a year quite like this one. When we closed back in early March, we thought it would be for a few weeks. We never anticipated that months later we would not only have to work to ensure that our mission endures, we would also have to reinvent ourselves to continue to serve our many audiences. That process continues today and we have adapted whenever, and wherever we can, as we have for decades. Initially, the Science Center migrated to a completely virtual presence. We worked to provide resources and programs to support parents suddenly faced with becoming in-home educators. We took our popular on-site experiences and moved them completely online. And our Education Team created innovative, livestream programs that allowed participants to work on activities at home with guidance from our team in real time. As summer arrived so did the in-person visits and a return to some familiar routines, but many others, especially our vital work in schools and Head Start programs, remained suspended. It was extremely gratifying to see visitors return to our building and we look forward to that day when we return to classrooms and day care centers, summer camps and libraries, and students on field trips return to the Science Center.

  • The Guy's Guide to Baltimore
    The Guy's Guide to Baltimore 101 Ways To Be A True Baltimorean! By Christina Breda Antoniades. Edited by Ken Iglehart. Let’s assume, for argument’s sake, that you’ve mastered the Baltimore lexicon. You know that “far trucks” put out “fars” and that a “bulled aig” is something you eat. You know the best places to park for O’s games, where the speed traps are on I-83, and which streets have synchronized traffic lights. You know how to shell a steamed crab. You never, EVER attempt to go downy ocean on a Friday evening in the dead of summer. And, let’s face it, you get a little upset when your friends from D.C. call you a Baltimoro… well, you know. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Do you really know all it takes to be a true Baltimorean? ¶ Here, we’ve compiled a list of the 101 activities, quirky habits, and oddball pastimes, that, even if you only did half of them, would earn you certification as a true Baltimorean. Some have stood the test of time, some are new favorites, but all are unique to Charm City. If you’re a grizzled native, you’ll probably find our list a fun test that takes you down memory lane. And if you’re new in town, the guide below will definitely help you to pass yourself off as a local. ¶ So, whether you’ve been here 60 days or 60 years, we’re sure you’ll find something new (or long forgotten) in the pages that follow.
