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 requested 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.

• Fast Food Lunches (MCP Family Handbook pg. 14)

We kindly request your support in upholding our wellness policy by providing nutritious lunches for your children, while discouraging the inclusion of fast food. However, we understand that there may be exceptional circumstances or special occasions where fast food is necessary. In such instances, we urge parents to consider healthier alternatives, such as subs. Please be aware that our guidelines regarding the prohibition of soda and portion sizes apply universally, whether the lunch is brought from home or purchased from a fast food establishment.

In order to maintain an environment conducive to focused learning, MCP has instituted a policy that strictly prohibits the delivery of food by third-party companies, including but not limited to; UberEats, Grubhub, and DoorDash. Additionally, attempts to deliver food by individuals not identified on the scholar's MCP profile will be denied. Likewise, we cannot accept or accommodate food deliveries made by parents/ guardians after the scholar's designated lunch period has ended. Any such deliveries will either be declined or disposed of accordingly. It is important to emphasize that MCP lacks the necessary refrigeration space and oversight to safely monitor food left for scholars outside of the specified policy guidelines outlined above.
