Field Trips
Field trips must serve an educational purpose and their value should be an integral part of the school's instructional program. They broaden the students’ educational experiences. Field trips are privileges given to students; no student as an absolute right to a field trip.
- Field trips are designed to correlate with teaching units and to achieve curricular goals.
- Field trips vary on each grade level.
- Field trips are permissible when advanced planning, location, and the experience ensure a successful learning opportunity.
- Individual teachers in consultation with the administration reserve the right to restrict or deny student participation on any field trip due to, but not limited to, poor academic performance and/or poor conduct.
- An official permission slip, signed by the parent, is required before a child will be permitted to attend a field trip. Verbal permission or letters written by parents will not be accepted.
- Permission slips are due in the office 48 hours before the date of the trip.
- To ensure adequate supervision, parents may be asked to chaperon a group of students. Parents not officially chaperoning the trip may not follow along in a car.
