2019-20 Field Trips
Field trips are an essential – and required - part of this course. Students are expected to attend all trips and participate in all activities. Field trips are active learning experiences, not days off from school.
It is the student's responsibility to inform all of their teachers BEFORE the field trip. You are responsible for getting and completing all assignments you miss as a result of the field trip. We will likely go on field trips even if it is raining, except in severe circumstances. If there is inclement weather on the day of a field trip, please listen for announcements, look for a Remind text, or contact Mr. Strieb. If a field trip is cancelled you are still responsible for any work, for any of your classes, that is due that day.
Filled-out, signed permission slips must be handed in by the date requested by Mr. Strieb.
Mr. Strieb reserves the right to exclude a student from a field trip because of behavioral or academic issues in his or another teacher's class.
For most field trips, please bring lunch, water and sunscreen. Do not bring inappropriate materials. On all trips you must wear close-toed, comfortable shoes (i.e., sneakers) that can get dirty and wet. There may be other clothing requirements for specific field trips. You will not be allowed to go in inappropriate clothing, including sandals and flip flops. You must bring some form of identification - school ID or driver's license is best.
These are the tentative dates for all of Mr. Strieb's APES field trips for 2019-20:
Friday, September 13, 2019 (7:20 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.) – Canoeing the Nissequogue River to investigate estuarine water quality parameters
Wednesday, October 2, 2019 (7:20 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.) – Sunken Meadow State Park to investigate salt marsh ecology
Monday October 7, 2019 (7:20 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.) - Canoeing the Nissequogue River to investigate estuarine water quality parameters
Wednesday, November 20, 2019 (7:20 a.m. – 1:45 p.m.) – Long Island Pine Barrens to investigate ecological succession
Winter/Spring 2020 - TBD – Port Jefferson Waste Water Treatment Plant to investigate sewage treatment plant operations
Winter/Spring 2020 – TBD – Covanta Resource Recovery Facility in East Northport to investigate incineration of Smithtown/Huntington solid waste and generation of energy
