Field Trips

All field trips are supplemental learning activities that support the curriculum. Written parental permission is required for any field trip. Parents are sometimes asked to chaperone (see CHAPERONES for guidelines on becoming a chaperone); however, younger/older siblings may not accompany the parent on the trip. 

Children are required to ride the bus with the class to the field study trip destination, but may ride home with their parents.  Students who have prior permission in writing may ride home with a chaperone. The teacher must have permission in writing and confirm with parent/guardian before leaving for the field trip. The chaperone must sign a roster indicating that children are riding home in the chaperone’s car. 

Due to budgeting for our trips, the school reserves the right to cancel a field trip due to lack of payment from students. With the rising costs for fuel, drivers, and activities, we cannot cover the cost of the trip when a large number of students do not pay for the trip.
