EPIC Families,

Join us for a Career Explorations Field Trip on Friday, October 25th to Blue STEM Agra Learning Center in El Reno! Do you have students who are interested in Agriculture? Blue Stem is a learning center focused on STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) by teaching students and the community to become citizen scientists, helping students understand how they could work in a world of science through hands-on STEM activities. This is the first time the Family Engagement team has planed a field trip to this location so you won't want to miss out!

What to expect: This opportunity is geared for our 5th-12th grade students. The staff at Blue STEM will be focused on hands on activities for our upper grade students so that they can begin exploring their interests in Agriculture.

Note: We will meet at The Stables located in downtown El Reno, 261 W Rogers St. (A bridge is out on the road that leads to the BlueStem facility so our field trip will be at The Stables.)

If you would like more information about this location or to decide if this is a location your students would enjoy please see the website below or at the bottom of the page.

Our field trips are student centered. We ask that you help us by allowing students to be toward the front of the tour and room. Parents and caregivers may be asked to be toward the back of the room so as to not obstruct the view for students.

POLICIES: This Epic field trip is free. You will register in Humanitix which will hold your spot for the field trip as a reservation. Parents, please register yourself and each of your Epic students who will be participating. This enables the school and the location to staff and plan appropriately. Our field trips do have a maximum capacity. Therefore, we ask that when registering your students, you only register Epic enrolled students so that the spots are filled by our students.

Students cannot be dropped off to attend a field trip without a parent or guardian unless they are of driving age and drive themselves. You will need your student’s Epic ID number and teacher’s name when signing up for the field trip in Humanitix.

This is a public event and photographs and or video may be taken during the activity. If you prefer your student to not have a photograph or video taken please let our Epic staff know during check in.

Sensory Bags: Sensory bags will be available to check out for use at this event. Upon arrival, see any Epic Family Engagement team member to check a bag out and return all sensory bags to an Epic Family Engagement team member before leaving the event. There is a limited supply of sensory bags.

CANCELLATIONS: As a reminder, if you sign up to come but are unable to make it, please cancel your reservation using your Humanitix confirmation email. This will open up spots for other families.
