Ms. Boyle,
You will have a whole host of ways to support your daughter's education at Polaris, be it field trips or otherwise. Primary school teachers are very good at keeping parents informed, especially Thursday folders (i.e., every Thursday your daughter's teacher will provide a summary of week events and upcoming events to calendar). Lots of students at Polaris have parents with (demanding) full time jobs and parental/adult obligations outside of the school, and many of those parents contribute to field trips and other school activities during school hours.
In short, don't sweat it. Thanks for your willingness to contribute to the community. Jim Hasbrouck
