    •  We have sent home permission slips for two more field trips at beginning of June.  We will need parent volunteers to join us at Lake Kegonsa to allow for more freedom of activities with smaller groups.  PLEASE consider joining us on Thursday, June 4th.  Chaperones do need to be Level 2 approved.  Here is the link you can use to make this happen. Please do this asap if you plan to join us so that the your application has time to be approved.  We can't allow parent chaperones who have not gone through this process to attend.  This is an MMSD rule.
    • Interested in volunteering at Randall or chaperoning a field trip with your child's class - start the process now by visiting the Volunteering page at MMSD’s website.
