Pre-Visit Information

For your convenience, a partially completed 511C form is provided (pdf format). To ensure a successful day, it is essential to review BOTH the Program Specific Information below AND the General Guidelines!

 

Program Specific Information

1. Before coming, remind students: 

• • this program is not “an outing”, it is a “work day”
  • lots of energy is needed -- eat breakfast!
  • the program takes place outdoors in a naturalized area so they must protect themselves against mosquitoes, ticks, ultraviolet rays, and poison ivy by wearing light coloured breathable clothing that covers arms and legs (no shorts); hats/caps are recommended; wear closed toed shoes (no sandals)
  • the class needs to bring insect repellent with no more than 10% DEET and sunscreen -these products should NOT be applied before coming to the program, TUSC staff will instruct the students on how to apply them correctly
  • all program materials, including pencils and clipboards, are provided

2. Students need to bring a packed lunch and water. Bottled water only please; sweet drinks such as juice or soda pop dehydrate students and attract bees, wasps and other insects. Since there are a limited number of drinking fountains in the park, encourage students to bring an extra bottle of water, especially if the day is warm. A short video to share with your students- Why you should bring water

3. TUSC is a Platinum EcoSchool - Waste-Free Lunches are expected!.
