If you want to check on the status of your local water, contact the local water utility company or the local government authorities. Start by looking at your water bill for a number to contact the water company. You can also contact the city or town hall about reports on local water quality. You can also try calling the local health department. When you talk to someone from the local water authority, you need to know the right questions to ask. You can ask basic questions, like is there fluoride added to the water and when was the last time the EPA tested the water. You can also ask if they use any other disinfectants than chlorine. You can ask about the source of the water. Groundwater is generally cleaner due to the natural filtering from the soil. Surface water has a tendency to pick up more pollutants. If they tell you that the EPA has tested the water, ask for the results. You can also ask for a copy of the test results since by law they have to provide you with information about water contaminants. If you cannot get any information from your local water authorities, you can try contacting the EPA. You can look up your local city's "Consumer Confidence Report." You may also contact the EPA safe drinking water hotline at 1-800-426-4791. You may also contact the EPA via their online form found here. You can also email the EPA at hotline-sdwa@epamail.epa.gov. If you have well water, or you are concerned about your community's water, you can test it yourself. Only send your water to a state and EPA-certified laboratory. You can find approved labs by contacting the EPA hotline. The cost of testing the water ranges from $25 to $100, depending on the thoroughness of your test.

summary: Contact your local water source. Ask questions about your water quality. Contact the EPA. Test your water.

Bring a notebook and writing supplies to journal or doodle. You could also bring an adult coloring book and some colored pencils to exercise your creativity, or some postcards to write to family and friends. Games will help keep your brain engaged and give you a fun way to pass the time. Bring some video games and a console, download game apps on your phone or tablet, or pack some classic travel-sized games. You could also bring a simple deck of cards and play a game like Solitaire by yourself, or ask the person beside you if they'd like to play a card game. Some buses provide WiFi, so if you need an internet connection, check ahead of time to see if your bus has that option. If it is not provided, you can purchase a wireless broadband router or a hotspot unit. If your phone has this option, you could also enable a hotspot using your phone. Hotspot units access a cellular network and are generally small enough to fit in a pocket. A long bus ride is the perfect time to get ahead on work. If you need internet for your work, use the bus's WiFi or bring your own. You could also prepare some work to do offline beforehand, such as drafts or memos. Take the opportunity to immerse yourself in some reading material to make the trip go by faster. Bring a book, magazine, or a Kindle pre-loaded with some reading material. Try reading something funny or suspenseful that will keep you fully absorbed. Netflix and Amazon Prime Video now offer offline downloads, so you can download TV shows and movies for a limited time and watch them anywhere with internet connection. You can also use the bus's WiFi, if available, or your own hotspot to watch online. Bring some headphones and an electronic device such as your phone, laptop, or tablet with some listening material. This is a great option if you get carsick from reading on the bus. Using your devices to keep you occupied on the trip will use up quite a bit of battery life, so be sure bring chargers for any electronic devices you bring, such as your laptop, phone, tablet, Kindle, or gaming devices.

summary: Write or draw to pass the time. Play video games, game apps, or travel games. Use the bus's WiFi or bring your own if needed. Get some work done. Bring something to read. Catch up on your favorite TV shows or movies. Listen to music, podcasts or audiobooks. Bring chargers for all of your electronic devices.

You can type up your permission slips using a program like Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or Pages. For most cases, use a clear and standard font such as Times New Roman or Arial in size 11 or 12. Answer all the questions that pertain to the specific activity. These could include: who, what, when, where, why, how much, as well as the means of transportation. This information, which summarizes the trip, should be at the top of the document. Here is an example of how these questions can be answered in the permission slip: Who: Mrs. Tucker's English class What: The class will be taking a trip to the Alberta Street Library. When: 8:30 am - 11:30 am, Friday, May 10th, 2019 Where: The Alberta Street Library Why: The class will be going to take a tour of the library. Cost: No cost Means of Transportation: We will take a school bus. Include the contact information for your school so they can be contacted with any questions. You need to have a statement where the parent or guardian writes that they give permission for their child to take the trip. Here is an example of this line: I, (parent or guardian's name), give permission for my child, (child's name), to attend the field trip to (location of field trip) with (organization or adult's name who is leading the trip). If a child has specific allergies or a medical condition, or if the trip is over an extended period of time, include space for the parent or guardian to give information about allergies and medical conditions. Write this as, "Relevant Allergies/Medical Conditions:_________." Create a line for an emergency contact phone number on the slip. This is the person that can be called if something happens to the child and their parent or guardian can't be reached. You can write "Emergency Contact Name: _________" and "Emergency Contact Phone Number: _________." Perhaps the most important part of the permission slip is the parent or guardian's signature. At the bottom of all the information about the trip, the parent or guardian needs to sign the paper! Write "Parent or Guardian Signature: _________" at the bottom of the slip.
summary: Use a word-processing program on your computer. Include all of the relevant details for the activity. Create a line for the parent or guardian to give explicit permission. Include space for medical details. Add an emergency contact option. Ask for the parent or guardian's signature.
