FIELD TRIPS
Field trips are intended to serve a worthwhile purpose related to classroom instruction.
Trips of significant educational value shall be permitted with the approval of the principal
and the division superintendent. Proper planning of the educational value of the trip and
the safety of the students shall be the primary considerations. The sponsor must make a
special written request to the principal who will forward his or her recommendations to the
division superintendent two weeks in advance of all scheduled trips. This includes
ANY
trip
off campus.
Students may not be allowed to participate in a field trip if it is two (2) weeks or less before
an SOL Test.
Any student who is failing a class and/or has poor attendance may be denied permission to
take any field trips by the sponsor or administration.
The highest standard of conduct is expected of students while on a field trip. Use of drugs,
alcohol, or tobacco is prohibited; any student so involved will be removed from the field trip
at that time at the student’s expense. Students who violate rules while on field trips may be
denied permission to attend all other field trips for the remainder of the school year.
