Ping-Pong and Picnics- Heartland Charter School

Registration window October 8, 10:00 a.m. -October 14, 7:00 p.m.

Ping-Pong Power Up & Family Picnic!

Come join other 4th-8th-grade students to Power Up your Ping-Pong skills. We’ll start off with a learning rally about the history and rules of ping pong at home. Then bring those new and improving table tennis and friendship skills to the table and smash out some points and laughs. Families are invited to bring their own picnic to enjoy before, during, or after our field trip. Please remember to register all family members who will be coming to the park with your Heartland student. See you there!

Let's make it LEGENDARY!

Warning: You might get SO good at ping-pong that your cat gets jealous of your paddle skills!

4th-6th-grade students will play from 10:30-11:20

7th- 8th-grade students will play from 11:40-12:30

This is due to table/supply constraints. Unlimited non-playing chaperones and non-playing siblings may attend to watch and picnic with those registered players.

May I pay using my funds? This event is FREE!

What are the check-in procedures? A signature check-in and check-out with Sheri Van Patten near the middle tables in the BBQ table clusters on the west side of the playground is mandatory before each session. I’m 6’ tall and will be wearing a Heartland shirt.

Who may attend? Students must be in 4th-8th grade to play; however, all ages are welcome to attend. Every attendee needs a ticket. This includes infants.

Is there on-site parking available? There is free neighborhood street parking around Jastro Park.

Can we pack snacks or lunch for this event or field trip? Yes. Family picnic meals, extra seating or blankets, and beverages are encouraged.

How to Reserve Your Spot

To officially join us on this field trip, you must complete both steps of our registration process. All field trips and events, even free ones, must be ordered in Procurify. Please follow these directions carefully:

Step 1: Check out on Ticketbud

Complete the checkout process here on Ticketbud. This initiates your reservation.

• Confirmation: You will receive an email confirmation from Ticketbud once your order is complete.
• Tip: If you do not see the email within a few minutes, please check your Spam/Junk folder. If you cannot find a confirmation email from Ticketbud, you did not successfully reserve tickets.
• Action: Once you have your confirmation, move immediately to Step 2.

Step 2: Place your Order in Procurify

Your spot is not confirmed until an order is placed in the Procurify system for students who are enrolled in Heartland and their primary chaperone. You do NOT need to place an order in Procurify for siblings who are not enrolled or for additional chaperones.

• Search: Log in to Procurify, search the name of this field trip in the catalog, and complete your order as you would for any other educational resource.
• Note: Do NOT place a Procurify order for siblings who are not enrolled in Heartland.
• Deadline: You must place your Procurify order within 3 days of your Ticketbud registration.
• IMPORTANT! Registration Requirement: To avoid losing your spot, both steps must be completed. Failure to place an order in Procurify within the three-day window will result in removal from the attendee list, and funds will be manually deducted from your account.

Heartland events are designed for families to attend together. Students need to be accompanied by an adult chaperone. If your student will be attending with another family, please email the field trip host to let them know once you complete your registration. Chaperones must be the legal parent or 25 years and older. All chaperones must be healthy, ethical people with the skills to be responsible adult chaperones.

Please review our Field Trip Attendance Policy!

To ensure we can provide these experiences to as many students as possible, please review our commitment guidelines before registering.

Tickets are Non-Transferable

• Non-Transferable: Tickets are tied specifically to the student account used at registration. They cannot be sold, gifted, or transferred to another family.

The "No-Show" Policy

• Loss of Access: Families who are frequent "no-shows" may lose access to future field trip registrations. We track attendance to ensure that limited spots go to families who are committed to attending.

Professional Courtesy: If an emergency arises, and you truly cannot make it:

• Notify the Lead Teacher: Please email the organizing teacher as soon as possible.
• Why it matters: This prevents the entire group from waiting at the venue entrance for your arrival, keeping the educational program on schedule for everyone else.

Our Goal: By only registering for events you are fully committed to, you help us keep our field trip program sustainable and open to all students.
