Aqua Room Field Trips

How They Work

We try to go on a field trip each month. We will send home a permission slip with all of the information on the form. You are to sign the form and let us know if you can be a driver and how many students you can take.

In the Aqua Room, we ask that you pay up front for all the field trips for your child. We have the checks go to our field trip coordinator, Chrystee Boothby. The cost of the field trips for the 2010-2011 school year is $78.00. Checks can be made to Chrystee Boothby.

Our Field Trip Policies

School-wide

  • During a field trip you are responsible for the children who are in your car. That means they should be with you at all times.

·         We do not allow you to buy anything for the students in your car.

·         We have a policy that everyone try to wear their MMCA t-shirts (white with globe on back) so that we are able to "spot" everyone on the field trip. We highly encourage the parents who are driving to wear an MMCA t-shirt as well. They can be purchased through the school.

·         Anybody who plans on driving on our field trips needs to turn in a copy of their driver's license and insurance card to the office so that we have it on file.

Classroom Based

·         If your child does not turn in his/her field trip form by the date stated on the slip, they may not be able to attend the field trip. It is very important that we get the slips turned in on time so that we can plan seating arrangements and make sure we have reservations for the correct number of students.

·         Field trips are a privilege. If a child is having disciplinary issues in the classroom, he/she may not be able to attend an upcoming field trip. If this is the case, we will notify you in advance.
