Field trips are a part of the curriculum. They provide opportunities for learning to be extended beyond the walls of the school. For this reason, all students are expected to attend field trips. A student may be excluded from participation only with the approval of the principal or asst. principal according to Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 6153. Parents who wish to keep their children from participation should be counseled about the relationship of the trip to the curriculum and that curricular-based trips are not rewards for positive behavior. Every attempt should be made to gain permission for all students to attend.
Planning for field trips should take place at the beginning of the year. Identify where and when you will be going. Once these are on the master calendar, transportation can be contacted and buses confirmed. Fuel cost is $2.95 per mile plus driver salary and benefits (see Mrs. Higgins). We will also use Jefferson Middle School buses if available. Mrs. Powell will do her best to secure the cheapest bus rate. Field Trip forms are on-line and should be sent electronically to Ms. Powell once they have been completed.
