MCP Field Trip Expectations

Field Trips are an extension of the academic lesson. We offer field trips to expose students to

geographic areas, various types of food, music and people and extend classroom learning. At

Milwaukee College Prep, we consider field trips to be a privilege. In order for students to participate

in experiences outside of the building, we expect them to follow classroom and school rules regularly as well as maintain a positive attitude. Students must show respect for their teacher and classmates while in the building in order to sustain such respect outside of school. We want students to recognize the importance of building and maintaining a sterling reputation.

Scholars will be excluded from attending a field trip if:


● Scholar earns two withdrawals (discipline and/or life’s work) within the 5 school days

prior to the field trip.

● Scholar is suspended within the 5 school days prior to the field trip

● Scholars who receive a discipline full withdrawal on the day of the field trip may be

excluded from a field trip at the principal’s discretion.

● Scholars who have earned a full withdrawal while on a field trip may be excluded from

participation in future field trips

● If your child loses the privilege to attend the field trip they will remain with an

administrator or be placed in another classroom. In any case, parents will be notified

upon the child receiving the second full withdrawal or suspension.


Parents/Guardians interested in chaperoning a field trip should contact their child’s teacher. Only

chaperones on the field trip will have expenses of the field trip paid on their behalf. Chaperones are

responsible for supervising students and may not bring other children on the field trip including other Milwaukee College Prep scholars.

Dismissal Change

MCP's Dismissal is from 3:10 to 3:30 pm

Starting Monday Feb. 12th we will be stopping outside MCP Staff support for the pickup line at 3:30.

If you arrive after 3:30 you will need to park and come to the door where Security will call for your scholars.

All Parents / Guardians are expected to stay at the front door while you wait for your scholar to make their way to the front door.
