Field Trips

The Board of Education recognizes that school-sponsored trips are an important component of a student's development and supplement and enrich the classroom learning experience. School-sponsored trips may be conducted in connection with the District's course of study or school-related social, educational, cultural, athletic, school and band activities, or other extracurricular or cocurricular activities.
Our service area strives to make each field trip experience a safe and positive one for our students and staff.
