Main Street School Field Trip
Chaperone Guidelines
Thank you for volunteering to chaperone a field trip at Main Street School. We
appreciate your help, as we wouldn’t be able to go on our academic field trips
without your help. Below are some guidelines we would like every chaperone to
follow when volunteering. If you have any questions or need clarification, please
don’t hesitate to ask your child’s teacher.
• Once you’ve agreed to chaperone, please keep your commitment (unless
you have an emergency), so the field trip isn’t cancelled.
• Be on time.
• Do not buy food and souvenirs for students.
• Follow the guidelines given by teachers.
• Cell phone use is restricted to emergencies.
• Plan ahead, so you don’t have to stop going to and from the destination.
• Please don’t chat during presentations. We want to set a positive example
for our students.
• Interacting with students is a priority. Please be “present” while
chaperoning.
• Drivers must return with the same students in the car.
• Return permission slips to the teacher at the end of the trip.
• Please accept who has been assigned to your car, and don’t negotiate
changing passengers.
• All field trips are tobacco and alcohol free.
• No siblings are allowed to attend when you are chaperoning a field trip.
