Field Trip Behavior: Since field trips take place during the school day, it is the expectation that students follow all school policies concerning student behavior, while on a field trip.  In addition, student safety and respect for our community are of the utmost concern, therefore, students who violate the outlined rules may have their field trip privileges suspended and may face further consequences.  The following are general field trip expectations and guidelines, although each individual field trip has unique hazards and will therefore constitute varying expectations.  Students must stay with their assigned group throughout the field trip.  Students shall respect personal and public property.  Students who do not exhibit respectful and appropriate behavior may be denied participation on a field trip if past behavior has given reason to expect that the student may not behave appropriately during the trip or if the student has not participated in class or is missing excessive assignments in any class.  Field trips may be cancelled for the whole class if students are not exhibiting respectful and appropriate classroom and field trip behavior.

Heidi Bradley is our room mother this year.  She will be coordinating the chaperones and transportation to and from the fieldtrips.  Prior to each fieldtrip she will contact you directly via e-mail.
