As you may have observed, we have scheduled a few Saturday trips as well as one overnight trip. This adjustment is a result of the school's growth and the unavailability of an additional bus dedicated solely to field trips. Consequently, we are unable to disrupt existing bus routes for these trips.
Reminders for parents and students:
Participating in field trips is a privilege. Students serve as representatives of the school; therefore, they may be excluded from participation in any trip for reasons relating to behavior or current academic standing (i.e behavior probation and school grade below a C). Any school discipline can negate participation in a field trip or school activity. Refunds will not be issued once the school store has closed.
Parent permission must be given for students to participate in field trips. Money and permission slips must be turned in according to the instructions, prior to the field trip, or the student will not be permitted to participate. All permission slips and money are due by the due date specified and no extensions will be given-NO EXCEPTIONS.
Students must wear the field trip shirts on all field trips reguardless if it is an on campus trip.
Financial Hardship: We understand that financial circumstances can vary among families. If you are experiencing financial hardship and are unable to cover the costs associated with school field trips, please reach out to us. We are committed to ensuring that all students have the opportunity to participate, and we can discuss options for assistance or alternative arrangements. Your child's experience is important to us, and we want to support every family in our school community.
If you have any questions about the field trips, please don’t hesitate to contact Mrs. Diaz, our Field Trip Coordinator, at diaz.blanca@somersetacademybethany.org
