Chaperones

We welcome parents and volunteers as chaperones on field trips. All parents who accompany students and classes on field trips are defined as chaperones and must have a cleared background check on file with the school. Parents who serve as chaperones may not bring older or younger siblings. To apply for a background check, you may visit the “Volunteer with CCS” page and click on the “CLICK TO GET STARTED” link.

As a rule, parents are not allowed to ride school buses with students on field trips. On rare occasions, parents may be needed as monitors on the school bus for longer trips. The classroom teacher, in connection with administration, determines this need. Only those parents who have been trained as bus monitors may ride the bus with students on field trips.
