Schedule & Request
Field Trips
Due to an increased demand, organizers of field trips are strongly advised to plan field-trips far in advance. Please fill out the Field Trip Request form with all of the information requested at least 1 month before the trip date. Approval of trips outside the minimum calendar days may result in delays or trip disapproval.
All field trips require that the School Nurse review each student's health records to determine whether any health requirements need to be addressed during the field trips. This is another reason why we need the request form to be submitted a month in advance.
The ratio for student to chaperone is 10:1. There must be at least 1 Certificated staff on each trip. The rest of the chaperones may be classified personnel or volunteers.
Reach out to Ms.Galdamez-Terriquez if you have questions.
