Due to COVID-19, school, state, and district policies may override the procedures and protocols as written. This policy/statement is subject to temporary modifications in order to accommodate health and public safety.** The Board of Education recognizes that field trips for educational purposes are an important part of the school curriculum and encourages school-sponsored field trips that are well planned and provide valuable learning experiences for students. Field trips should be reasonable in length, taking into consideration the age and maturity of the students, and time away from school. They shall be an outgrowth of the instructional program, include documented preparatory instruction and follow up, and assure the proper supervision of students. The following are general guidelines that teachers, parents, and students will need to adhere to: ● Administration will review and consider for approval all school trip requests before parents and families are notified of a planned grade level trip. ● Chaperone/student ratio will be no less than 1:10 for elementary trips. Criminal background checks must be completed and turned in 2 weeks prior to field trip before a parent/guardian is allowed to serve as a chaperone. Please plan ahead, this process can take up to 10 days for a response. The background check form can be accessed by going to our website: xxx.xxxx.x00.xx.xx/xxx and scroll to the Quick Links in the center of our home page and select Background Check Process found under quick links. Select “Volunteer Now” and proceed with the process. ● No child shall be denied the opportunity to participate in field trips due to financial hardship. Please contact school Social Worker for a scholarship application. ● Nearby community sites will be utilized whenever possible in order to keep distances traveled to a minimum. ● Students are subject to the Code of Student Conduct and all board policies while on a school-sponsored field trip. All disciplinary consequences will be available, including removal from the field trip. ● School trips may be cancelled when necessary by the Principal, Superintendent, or Board of Education. We cannot guarantee reimbursement when such cancellations occur. ● ABSS Parent Permission forms must be used for all school-sponsored trips. ● Parents/guardians will be notified of any significant change in plans prior to the school trip. ● Principals may deny student participation on field trips for school disciplinary reasons. ● Only students assigned to that grade level are permitted to go on school field trips. ● Parents chaperoning field trips are not allowed to bring other siblings or children. ● We ask that individuals who are not designated by the teacher as a chaperone not attend the field trips. If an adult attends the trip and is not a designated chaperone they may not participate in group activities on the trip ● Parents are not permitted to ride the activity bus with students to field trips.
