During the school year teachers may take their classes to various places of interest. A field trip offers children the opportunity to gain first-hand experience and knowledge on topics which the class is studying. The trips are planned carefully by the teacher and discussed with the students.

Parents are requested to sign a permission slip before the child is allowed to go on a field trip. Most trips are made on our own school buses. Charter buses are contracted for special trips such as the 7th grade Springfield trip and the 8th grade Washington trip.
While on field trips, students are expected to exhibit good conduct and to act in a responsible, courteous manner. When necessary, parents may be asked to help provide supervision during a field trip experience.
