The Teaching Zoo at Moorpark College-Heartland Charter School

Registration window December 2, 10:00 a.m. December 15, 7:00 p.m.

This field trip will include a Wildlife Presentation and Tour of the zoo.

The Wildlife Presentation is 30 minutes and is given by the students of the Animal Care and Training Program in the Wildlife Theater. You will get to see a variety of animals up close and learn more about each of them.

There will also be a 45-minute tour of the Zoo. This may be a guided tour given by a student or a self-guided tour with students stationed around the Zoo to continue to educate about the animals you encounter (we will find out which on the day of the event). You will see animals such as Macaws and Monkeys, Tigers and Tortoises to name a few.

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 let the field trip host know. 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.

**To ensure the health and safety of all attendees, please do not attend a field trip or event if you, your student(s), or anyone in your household is ill or showing possible signs of illness.**

Please read our refund policy!

Refunds will not be given for any reason. As a courtesy, if you are sick or unable to attend a field trip, please contact the teacher who planned the event and let them know so they do not have to wait at the venue for you.* Families who are no-shows may lose access to future field trips.*

May I pay using my student's planning amount? Yes! You can pay for your student's ticket and one chaperone ticket with your student's planning amount. Reminder, only one chaperone ticket per family may be purchased using planning amounts. There are two steps to purchase tickets for field trips with your student's planning amount.

Step 1. Reserve your ticket on Ticketbud. Please select the "Student ticket paid with planning amounts through Procurify" and or "Chaperone ticket paid with planning amounts through Procurify" ticket options on Ticketbud. Complete the checkout process on Ticketbud. You will receive an email confirmation from Ticketbud once your order is complete. (If you do not receive an email please check your Spam folder.) This is the first step in reserving your tickets. Immediately after you receive confirmation from Ticketbud, you will move to step 2.

Step 2. Place an order for your tickets in Procurify. Search the name of this field trip in the Procurify catalog and complete your order just like you would for any other order. Your spot on this field trip will not be confirmed until you have placed your order in Procurify. Failure to place an order in Procurify within three days will result in being removed from the attendee list and having your funds manually deducted.

What are the check-in procedures? 9:45 Check in with me at the Blue Zone. I will have on a Heartland shirt and will have a clipboard.

Does this trip have any grade or age restrictions? All ages are welcome. Each person who attends a field trip or event must be registered through Ticketbud.

Is there on-site parking available? They have an upper Parking Lot near the Zoo entrance. More parking is available in the adjacent lot, Lot 21. A temporary Parking Permit is required from the College. The cost is $2. You may purchase it here. You may also scan the QR codes posted in the parking lot as well as the front gate of the Zoo. Credit or Debit card only. There is a yellow kiosk in Lot 21 that can be used to purchase parking passes.

Can we pack snacks or lunch for this event or field trip? No eating or drinking during the presentation and tour. There are about 5 picnic tables outside the Zoo gates on the balcony of the EATM building where families can eat.
