  Note for Parents of THIRD GRADERS:  While your child’s class attends the Thinking Outside the Classroom Zoo program, you must  

arrange transportation to Johnson from the zoo in order for your child to attend Enrichment.

We will reach out before your child's month at the Zoo if you enroll your third  grader in a Homework Center so we can ensure continued access during Thinking Outside the  Classroom.
