Field Trips and Class Trips

All rules and regulations listed in the North Penn-Liberty Jr./Sr. High School Handbook for Students, Parents, and Guardians apply to field trips and class trips.

Teachers often schedule field trips to provide experiences for students outside the classroom. Trips include visits to museums, historical sites, governmental agencies, and other places of educational interest.

The trip is usually made in connection with a unit being studied in class or one which will be studied in the near future. School buses may be chartered from bus companies and students pay for transportation and other expenses.

Parents and students will be provided with an agenda stating the time of departure and return. Permission forms will be provided and must be signed by a parent/guardian and returned to the teacher prior to the field trip. While on a trip, regardless of the distance, students are considered "in school" and are subject to all school regulations concerning dress and behavior. Proper dress for all school trips shall be established by the class advisor or teacher in charge.

Students who fail to attend a field trip due to personal reasons, or students who are not permitted to attend due to disciplinary reasons are not entitled to a refund.

Exclusions

Any student who has been suspended during the school term may not be allowed to attend field trips for the school year. Additionally, any student who is failing a class may be withheld from field trips or activities that require the student to miss class time.
