9.3 Additional Guidelines for Foreign Study Programs
Students may be offered several opportunities each year to study abroad. Student groups may take
advantage of fall, winter and spring breaks and summer vacations to travel to those countries whose
languages and cultures they have been studying. Permission for these trips should be requested using the
Field Trip Request Approval Form and the Field Trip Required Itinerary. If approval is granted for the
trip, teachers are to follow the appropriate guidelines listed in section 9.1. A list of all students
participating and a copy of the parent permission form are to be sent to the program director of foreign
languages prior to taking the trip. We reserve the right to cancel student trips when the safety of our
students might be compromised due to National Security Alerts.
