Field Trips and Study Tours

Learning experiences outside the classroom are important. Our classes have numerous field trips and study tours throughout the year as appropriate for each grade level. These trips are carefully planned to be relevant to the curriculum. Parents are encouraged to assist in all aspects of fund-raising, preparation and supervision. This is a great opportunity to share group experiences with your student.

Field trips and study tours are for students only. No siblings or friends can participate. Students must be in good standing in their classroom in order to participate. Homework assignments, projects and other classroom criteria must be met. Students must be in good health and physically able to participate in the field trip or study tour that is scheduled.

Students may be required to wear school T-shirts on field trips or study tours. Shirts are available through the school office for $10.00. Students must wear appropriate footwear or jackets if required.

Students who pose a safety threat to themselves or others may not attend field trips or study tours. They may be disqualified up until departure time for these behaviors.
