Walker Mill's TAG program strongly believes in extending the learning experiences of our students outside of the classroom by providing more in-depth examination into topics. We are always in need of chaperones for our field trips. However the safety of our students and staff is a high priority for our school. For this reason there are several steps parents need to follow in order to be able to chaperone on a field trip with their child.
