FIELD TRIPS

Occasional field trips of an educational or cultural nature are provided for the students at the discretion of the teacher. Field trips are privileges afforded to students; no student has an absolute right to a field trip. Students may be denied participation in a field trip if they have failed to meet behavioral requirements. Parents MUST sign the appropriate permission form. The school will not accept any form other than the adopted Diocesan form. Students who fail to submit the proper form will not be allowed to participate in the field trip. Telephone calls will not be accepted in lieu of proper forms. Parents may refuse to permit their child to participate by stating so on the proper forms. Parents/guardians may be asked to serve as field trip chaperones. Only those adults who have completed the Diocesan required reference, have fingerprints on file, have attended the safe environment workshop, and have the proper insurance forms might be considered as field trip c haperones/drivers. No exceptions can be made to this policy. The permission form only allows for transportation to and from the designated location. There should be no stops for gas, snacks, lunch, etc. Siblings may not attend field trips due to insurance regulations.
