Important FIELD TRIP Info

We will *HOPEFULLY* be going on a field trips this school year and we have some important information to share. If you would like to be a volunteer on one of our class field trips, please let us know ASAP:

1. You must fill out a volunteer form and receive a background check. This can take up to 2 weeks to process, so it is best to do it now, even for field trips later in the school year. You will find instructions at the bottom for how to do the form and background check.

2. On the day of the field trip, please remember that parents CANNOT ride on the bus with the students. You MUST drive to the school prior to the field trip to have your driver’s license scanned and then you will follow the bus to the field trip location. This means that you CANNOT meet your child’s class at the field trip location.

3. If you would like to sign your child out after the field trip, your child MUST ride the bus back to the school and you MUST sign your child out in the front office. We cannot allow your child to go with you directly from the field trip location.

Listed below, you will find directions on how to get to the volunteer form from the district website, but please let me know if we need to send one home. Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions or concerns. We are so excited to be taking some great field trips this school year to provide fun learning experiences for our students.

Thank you,

Ms. Humphries
