Good evening!

Sorry for all the emails this afternoon…this will be my last one!  Also included in your child’s Friday Folder will be a FREE pass to all federal parks, lands, and waters.  Yes, a free pass!!!

Here are the official rules:
1) the pass is for U.S. 4th grade students
2) the pass is for the 2019-2020 school year and expires 8/31/20
3) students can’t transfer the pass to anyone else
4) they can’t accept electronic versions of the paper for access or to exchange for a pass
5) no refunds are given for previously purchased passes, or if you forget your pass when you visit
6) if you lose your pass, get a new one by visiting the website and signing up again
7) educators can get one paper pass for each student
8) this program only provides passes for 4th graders

How it works:

1) show your pass to a ranger when you enter.  If there is no ranger, leave it on the dashboard of your car
2) if you visit a site that charges entrance fees per person, the pass admits all children under 16 and up to three adults for free
3) if your group visits a site that charges vehicle entrance fees, the pass admits all children under 16 and all adults in up to one passenger vehicle. Commercial vehicles can’t use a pass to get in
4) if you arrive at a site on bicycle, the pass admits all children under 16 and up to three adults on bicycles
5) the pass doesn’t cover things like parking fees, camping, boats, and special tours. Also, some sites are managed by private operators. They may not honor the pass. Check with the site ahead of time to find out.
6) the pass doesn’t cover fees for local, city, or state parks and recreation areas unless they say that they accept this pass
7) paper passes can be exchanged for plastic passes at certain sites

If there are any other questions, you can visit the website.  https://everykidoutdoors.gov/educators.htm

If you and your child have decided on a historical landmark and would like to request that site, please send me an email.  There can be no duplicate locations.  First come, first served.  I will keep a running list, so check either emails or the classroom blog for daily updates.
