Please note that we plan to add more information about the options and categories on our Google Site, an yet this might be a few pays past March 6 before that happens.  If you are to look over options and not submit, the you can sometimes just enter an "x" to move on from required fields.

Transportation Funds

The planetarium has some funds for transportation. If we do approve the funds, you still need to arrange your transportation through your school office. Request that the invoice be sent to the planetarium, not to a JSD account. Only official Sea Week field trips or trips funded by your school should use a JSD account. Ask if you are not sure.

If organizations, parents, and/or other individuals are willing to pay for transportation for specific classes or in for field trips in general, they can make donations to the planetarium specifically for their request. Talk to me if this is an option or if you know of someone who might be interested in making a donation. 

Are you requesting all or partial planetarium funding for a bus trip?

The field trip categories below are adaptable for any grade except where noted otherwise. Pick one that seems to fit and then add as much additional information as you want as comments. If addressing science standards or other standards during this visit are important to you, let us know.  A planetarium field trip is both entertaining and educational. You can explore each of these options by entering this form and exiting before submitting. You can re-enter this form to make changes by choosing "Revision." We can continue a discussion of your choices by email or phone.
