Empowering Learners as Global Thinkers and Producers
FIELD TRIP PROCEDURES
Reminder: Oversight of field trips has transitioned from Patty Montagna to DAWN REICH
Check Matt Sanger's Garden Spot Outlook calendar to verify that your potential field trip is the ONLY field trip scheduled for that particular date - we are limiting field trips to ONE PER DAY.
If you do not believe you currently have access, please reach out to Matt so that he can share access.
If the day is FREE on Matt’s calendar, send Dawn and emailed request to reserve that date ahead of time so she can place the event on the calendar.
Complete the Field Trip Request Form.
This ONE updated form replaces the miscellaneous forms (i.e. substitute request form, transportation request form, etc.).
Complete the Field Trip Roster Form.
All forms MUST be submitted to Dawn DIGITALLY.
Upon approval, all forms will be emailed back to the requesting teacher, along with all student permission slips.
The teacher coordinating the field trip is responsible for printing (double-sided) and distributing to all students on the trip roster.
Trip invoices/billing must be sent to both Joanna and Dawn.
Some key changes to note:
Only ONE field trip per day will be permitted; no field trips on Fridays
Field trip requests must be submitted AT LEAST 2 WEEKS prior to the date of the trip
Roster changes will NOT be permitted within 1 WEEK of the date of the trip
Transportation Updates:
Field trips cannot leave until 9:00 AM and must return to the campus by 2:00 PM
If you feel that your only option is to charter a coach bus, note that there is a LIMIT to 1 trip using coach buses per department per school year
