The Elk Meadows Sixth Grade has the opportunity to attend Space Camp at the Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center in April or May. Space Camp is located in Pleasant Grove Elementary. All fifth and sixth grade classes in Alpine School District have priority and are scheduled first. Due to the amount of growth in Utah County, the number of dates for schools outside of Alpine District is limited. Elk Meadows has been invited to attend because of the outstanding reputation built by Elk Meadows Sixth Graders for being prepared and well-behaved at Space Camp over the past six years.
The Space Camp instructions for discipline are explicit. “Please emphasize to your students that they represent your school at OUR school. Your students should be quiet and respectful in the cafeteria, classroom and Starlab.” Because of these instructions, students with excessive Responsibility Card (RC) marks will not be attending.
Starting November 14, 2011 through April 13, 2012, if a student has more than 60 total marks on his/her RC, that student will stay at school with a class that is not attending Space Camp that day. As a Sixth Grade Team, we want to maintain the great reputation our students have for being well-behaved.
If you have questions, please contact your child’s homebase teacher.
