A. PURPOSEFIELD TRIPSStudents in Crestdale Elementary School have opportunities for first-hand learningexperiences such as field trips. Field trips are planned to support all curricular areas. Manylessons for students cannot be duplicated with media materials or textbooks. Teachers plan at<strong>school</strong>activities to prepare students for what they will experience, as well as follow-up lessons.It is necessary that per<strong>mission</strong> slips be signed for each activity. Your cooperation in signingthose slips and returning them to your child’s teacher will be appreciated. Field trips will beplanned to correlate with the curriculum for that classroom. Students without properly signedper<strong>mission</strong> slips will not be allowed to attend the trip. Responsibility for returning per<strong>mission</strong>slips lies with the student. Parents may be asked to attend a field trip for the safety of a childwith compliance issues.Teachers appreciate your support in these educational opportunities by both chaperoningand providing for the added expenses such as, a transportation fee, activity fees, meal costs, orentrance fees.B. CHAPERONESWe sincerely appreciate parental support of field trips. However, we must ask yourcooperation with the following guidelines for chaperones:1. There are many field trip opportunities within the <strong>school</strong> year. We will schedule asmany parents as is appropriate to help on each trip. Our destinations often haverestrictions or requirements as to the number of participants, and our arrangementsare made well ahead of the trip. It is necessary to schedule your participation toensure a successful outing.2. If you are able to attend a field trip with us, we are counting on you to help us withthe super<strong>vision</strong> of students. Since this is our primary goal, we need your undividedattention with our students. Therefore, we must ask that you do not bring infants,toddlers, or pre<strong>school</strong>ers along.3. Chaperones are expected to follow the same rules and guidelines as if on <strong>school</strong>property.4. All chaperones must have a criminal background check on file with the <strong>school</strong>corporation in order to attend at least 2 weeks prior to the scheduled trip. Formscan be picked up at the <strong>school</strong>.FIRE AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS DRILLSFire drills are held once a month. Fire drills are indicated by the alarm system, which is acontinuous buzzer type alarm.Students will also be made aware of what to do in case of an earthquake or tornado while at<strong>school</strong> as well as at home. Emergency preparedness drills are held each trimester.FRIENDSHIPSAt Crestdale Elementary, we encourage students to be friends and to be friendly.
