Whenever you submit requests remember:

• Buses must remain on-site during the entire field trip.  (Make sure bus drivers are aware of this policy and bring a lunch.)
• Students must bring their lunches if you are expecting to eat at LIGO, Livingston (we do have a pavillion where students can eat their bagged lunches).
• Field trip reminders will be sent to the contact teacher one month prior the scheduled field trip.  Make sure to confirm with your administration and transportation at this time.    
• Although we try to fit in as many groups as we can, we do have limited availability, therefore we give first choice to those who previously did a teacher workshop with us, then we schedule others.  If you're interested in teacher workshops please check out our teacher workshop page. 
• Field trips that are cancelled after the email reminder or without at least a month notice won't be able to book again for a full calendar year.
