One field trip of educational and/or cultural value that is directly related to the curriculum may be taken by each grade during the academic year. Such trips are arranged by the faculty with the approval of the principal. In order to participate in a field trip, students need to have a written permission form signed by a parent or guardian. This form must be returned to school prior to the day of the excursion. Telephone conversations are not acceptable substitutes for a signed permission. All costs are absorbed by the students. The school reserves the right to not allow a student to participate in the field trip when his/her behavior is judged inappropriate or the parent’s financial account is seriously past due. Field trips are part of the student's curriculum; therefore, no student should be prevented from taking part without a serious reason.
