Students in grades TK-8 may participate in a variety of learning experiences outside of the classroom. Field trips are of educational or cultural value and enhance and strengthen the curriculum.
Each student attending a field
trip must have a Field Trip Permission form signed by his/her parents. No child may be transported off campus for school
functions without a written permission form. Signed and dated Field Trip Permission forms with emergency information
must accompany adult supervisors for each student attending a field trip.
If private vehicles are used in car-pooling field trips, a seat belt must be available for each student. Drivers of car pool
vehicles must file a copy of current liability insurance with the administration as well as a copy of a current driver’s
license. All drivers must be a minimum of 25 years of age.
St. Joseph the Worker School recommends that no child under the age of 12 be transported in the front passenger seat
of the vehicle; state law requires that any child under the age of 6 and/or weighing less than 60 pounds be transported in
the back of the vehicle in a child restraint seat.
Families are responsible for 100% of the fees associated with the field trip. This cost will be documented on the permission slip.
