The educational program shall include excursions and trips by pupils under the supervision and instruction of teachers to museums, art galleries, places of historical nature, industrial, or civic interest, field and woods for nature study and institutions or places of similar character which, in the opinion of the administration, may promote the education of such pupils as authorized to take such a trip. The place to be visited and the method of transportation shall be approved by the administration. Parents will be notified of the location to be visited, date, time, required dress code, cost of the trip (if any), etc.
Written permission from the parent must be on file prior to any student participating in a school field trip. Parents may occasionally be asked to drive and/or chaperone field trips. Parents that drive or chaperone must have a completed background check on file in the office, provide the office a copy of their driver’s license, and provide proof of auto insurance. Parent drivers/chaperones may not bring younger children unless the trip is specifically authorized as a family event. Many field trip destinations do not allow smaller children. In addition, the parent cannot give full attention and diligence in supervising a group of students if a younger child is included.
