Dear Chaperones,

Thank you so much for offering to chaperone our upcoming field trip to Clark
Planetarium. We will be taking Frontrunner to and from the planetarium. In order to
ensure a safe and fun trip for everyone, we wanted to provide you with some guidelines.

● For the safety of our students, please guarantee that the students you have been
asked to chaperone are always with you and that you can always see them.
Even if students are with a buddy, please do not allow them to go somewhere on
their own. If students need to use the restroom, please escort them and wait
outside the bathroom or stall if appropriate.
● On the train, please sit near the students you are responsible for, if possible next
to or across from them. During the short walk from the train station to the
planetarium, please keep the students you have been asked to chaperone with
you.
● On the field trip we are all representing our school. If students are misbehaving
or acting in a way that is not acceptable at the place visiting, please kindly
redirect them. Do not allow students to run up and down the aisles of the train or
to wander around. They should be sitting with their pockets on the seat, feet off
the seats.
● We will not be the only people on the train. If needed please remind students to
leave other’s things alone and talk with a quiet, school appropriate voice.
Again, we want to thank you for your willingness to help make our field trip a
success. Without you, we would not be able to attend as many field trips as we have.
As a chaperone, students are expected to treat you with respect and grace and courtesy. Please help by respectfully redirecting them as needed. You are a vital part of our MMA community and we appreciate all you do.

Sincerely Yours
MMA Lower Elementary Team
