ECPS Field Trip Scheduling and Transportation

Directions for Scheduling a Field Trip to RHEC

  1. Field trip scheduling for Escambia County Public Schools 2nd and 5h grade teachers during the week of pre-school for teachers.  Exact date to be announced each school year.  Private Schools and Home School Groups will be given an opportunity after the Escambia County Public Schools have scheduled if there are any dates still available.

     

  2. Sign up is through "Sign Up Genius."  Principals are given the link to Sign Up Genius calendar and asked to share with 2nd and 5th grade teachers.  All others should contact RHEC staff for a link to the "Sign Up Genius" Calendar.

     

  3. Prior to your field trip time you will receive an email from RHEC staff which contains a teacher packet with information on scheduling, transportation, as well as choosing the programs in which you would like your students to participate.

     

  4. Review the content of the teacher packet including information about our programs.  Look over the program curriculum and correlation to the Florida State Science Standards.  Choose the programs which will best suit the needs of your students.

     

  5. After selecting the program(s) you in which you would like your students to participate, please complete the 2nd or 5th Grade Program Request Form Google Form for each day of your school's field trip to RHEC.  Please complete this a minimum of two weeks prior to your visit.

     

  6. A minimum of three weeks prior to your visit to RHEC, ask your school office to generate a Bus Request Form. Add the school information and code to the form and forward to Debra Early-Magouyrk.  The RHEC pays for half of the cost of transportation, so Debra Early-Magouyrk will add our coding to the form as well.  

     

  7. Confirm your scheduled bus at least 2 weeks in advance.

     

Field Trip Transportation Information

  1. The Roy Hyatt Environmental Center pays for half of the cost of the bus for all ECSD 2nd and 5th grade field trips.  The school is responsible for the other half of the cost of transportation.

     

  2. After scheduling your field trip a transportation request form must be completed online by the secretary at your school, making sure to include your school code on the form.  This form is then sent to the Mathematics/Science Dept. Secretary, Debra Earl-Magouryk, DEarly-magouyrk@ecsdfl.us.

     

  3. Debra Early-Magouryk  will then add the RHEC code to the form and forward it to the Transportation Department.

     

  4. Two weeks prior to your field trip it is always a good idea to check with Debra Early-Magouryk, as well as the Transportation Department, to make certain that all is in order for your trip.

     

*All other groups must make their own transportation arrangements.
