9 There will not be a refund of money paid for field trips, if for any reason, a person cannot attend, since we assess the absolute minimum to pay for the expenses listed above. Monies must be collected two weeks prior to the field trip date. Chaperoning School trips are a responsibility that parents may take on to support our school and our students. A lottery system is used to determine which parents/guardians will be chosen to attend. We appreciate the support, but we require that all chaperones accept the responsibilities assigned. All chaperones must: • be an adult over the age of 18 and listed in parent portal as a contact. • swipe their driver’s license or a valid State ID Card at the school visitor’s kiosk located in the main office. • maintain control of the group of students who are assigned to you for the duration of the trip. • adhere to the directions given by the teachers who are in charge. • follow all requirements of teachers and students including no smoking & no drinking of alcoholic beverages. Students must ride the bus to and from the trip; they may not ride home with their parents. Parents may sign their child out upon arrival back to school.

Questions about the trips should be directed to your child’s homeroom teacher. GIFT DELIVERIES TO STUDENTS Please do not have flowers, balloons, or similar items delivered to school for students. It is impossible to take such things home on the bus and the arrival of them in classrooms creates a disruption to lessons. This practice will be in place throughout the school year, including during End of Year Ceremonies. Parents will be called to retrieve items delivered within an hour of delivery, as the office will not be able to house them in the office, and they will not be delivered to the classrooms. BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS We enjoy the opportunity to celebrate with our children. Please note that any treats brought in must be store-bought, individually packaged, and labeled with nutrition information; home-baked goods are not allowed. In addition, all treats will be distributed at lunch and must be brought in prior to the scheduled lunch time.
