RE: PORTLAND TRAIN/ OMSI INFORMATIONlz Thursday is our trip and we want to stay in touch.

 

  1. Make sure to let us know how you will get your child to the train. Use carpooling, or drive your child and others who need a ride. Jenny will meet and take those students who are bus riders or need the ride.
  2. Debra will be waiting at the station to meet students from 8:30am and on.(no need to come earlier) The train leaves promptly at 9:00am.
  3. Students will be carrying their backpacks, with a lunch, several snacks, a water bottle, books or supplies for the day. Wear comfortable shoes. If your child needs a school lunch, we need to tell the cafeteria by Tuesday.
  4. Remember to include in your plans how your child gets home. The train arrives at 8:50pm. Amtrak train phone# is 541-687-1383 on Willamette Street & 5th. Call Amtrak for the possibilities of delays.
  5. Chaperones and students stay together at specific times: When entering and leaving the train, at OMSI, walking to the museum and restaurant. On the train, at the restaurant, in the movie, and planetarium, they may sit with where they’d like.
  6. Schedule:
