Field Trip Season
Spring is upon us and that means that field trips will be in full swing shortly! Just a reminder that if you are accompanying your child's class on a field trip, you will need to be attending as a chaperone and have all of your required volunteer paperwork completed and cleared through the district office before you can attend. Chaperone spots are limited depending on the field trip. Parents who are not on the approved chaperone list will unfortunately need to wait for another field trip opportunity. Chaperones will need to ride the bus to provide supervision to their group of students. Please remember that a field trip is an educational experience for all of our students, this means that you will be in charge of a group of students, not just your own child. If you are not a chaperone, please do not show up at the field trip planning to "tag along" with the class as this poses safety concerns. Safety is of the utmost importance in all situations, but especially on field trips.
Thank you for your understanding,
Mrs. Newman
