9.1 Guidelines for Student Trips<br />

Section 9: STUDENT TRIPS<br />

No field trip can be requested or scheduled within the two (2) weeks prior to TAKS/STAAR testing or<br />

during TAKS/STAAR testing. Refer to the <strong>2012</strong>-<strong>2013</strong> Traditional School Calendar for dates.<br />

Note: All forms necessary for Student Trips are located in the Forms Section and must be submitted to<br />

the appropriate Learning Network director at least 2 weeks prior to the field trip.<br />

I. Pre-Kindergarten - Fifth Grade Field Trips<br />

For each field trip, a parent or guardian is required to sign a Parental Permission and Release and<br />

Indemnity Trip Form 829 located in the forms section each school year. The school will keep this<br />

form on file in the main office. The principal or designee will notify parents/guardians before each<br />

field trip is taken. Any child who does not have a signed Parental Permission and Release from<br />

Claims and Indemnity Form shall not participate in any field trip.<br />

II. Student Trips Initiated by Classroom Teachers<br />

School sponsored field trips scheduled during the school day must have an educational purpose<br />

that is related to a specific course of study, a classroom activity, or an approved co-curricular<br />

activity, such as UIL academic or athletic competitions. Other than UIL competitions (academic,<br />

athletic, choral and instrumental music), no field trips may be scheduled during the last week of<br />

school.<br />

Classroom teachers wishing to plan a local field trip for their students will comply with the<br />

following:<br />

A. Board Policy - FMG (LOCAL):<br />

Students who participate in school-sponsored trips shall be required to ride in transportation<br />

provided by the school to and from the event. Exceptions may be made if the student’s parent or<br />

guardian personally requests that the student be allowed to ride with his or her parent or<br />

presents a written request to the principal prior to the scheduled trip that the student be allowed<br />

to ride with an adult, not a student, designated by the parent. The district shall not be liable for<br />

any injuries that occur to students riding in vehicles that are not provided by the school.<br />

B. Board Policy - EFD (LOCAL):<br />

Classroom teachers wishing to plan a local field trip for their students shall comply with the<br />

following:<br />

1. A teacher may take students on local field trips with prior approval of the principal. Local<br />

is defined as any zip code within FW<strong>ISD</strong>.<br />

2. A teacher may permit a student to participate in a field trip or other activity under school<br />

sponsors away from the school with written permission from the parent.<br />

3. On all field trips, appropriate supervision shall be a student/adult ratio of 10:1.<br />

4. An employee will not be permitted to take his/her own child on a field trip unless that child<br />

is officially assigned by the principal as a part of the employee’s load as a teacher, coach,<br />

aide, bus driver, or other similar position.<br />
