Field Trips and Excursions

Field trips are an extension of our curriculum and are considered a regular part of the educational experience. Such trips are arranged by the faculty throughout the year with the approval of the principal. In order to participate in a field trip, students need to have a written and signed permission form. This form must be returned to school prior to the day of the excursion.  Telephone conversations, faxes or emails are not acceptable substitutes for a signed permission slip to go with his/her class. All costs of the trip are absorbed by the family of the student attending the trip. The school reserves the right to not allow a student to participate in a field trip when his/her behavior is judged inappropriate.  Children of chaperones are not allowed on field trips. When accepting the position of chaperone, you are accepting responsibility for other students. ​​​
