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.
