Chaperone Duties and Student Expectations:
Supervision in the Parks
Supervision in the Hotel
General expectations
Extenuating Circumstances
There is always the possibility of the unexpected happening. If you have health issues of any kind that could require special assistance while on the trip, you need to communicate these matters to Mrs. Bassett. You need to have a plan in place for how this should be dealt with in a way that makes it possible for Mrs. Bassett to remain in charge of the entire group. There are over 75 people travelling with this group and additional parents who plan to drive down and experience this with us. In addition to communicating any issues with Mrs. Bassett, your chaperone also needs this information in advance.
Medication must be administered by Mrs. Bassett each day.
Please be proactive in planning for this trip. With special needs of any kind, plans need to be made in advance. Hopefully, nothing will go “wrong”, but leading a group this LARGE is a tremendous responsibility. It is important that this is considered when planning ahead to ensure the needs of one and the needs of the rest of the group are all met in a satisfactory manner. Thank you for your help in making the trip the best it can be!
- Chaperones and students will save the cell phone numbers of their group in their phone, along with any other important numbers they will need while on the trip.
- Students will check in with their chaperone every hour (on the hour) through text or face-to-face depending on the circumstances. The first time a student forgets to check in with a chaperone, they will receive a warning. The next time a student fails to check in with their chaperone, they will remain with their chaperone in the parks for the remainder of the trip.
- Students must be in groups of 3 or more while in the parks or in the hotel.
Supervision in the Hotel
- Students should never be completely alone in the hotel or anywhere on the trip.
- Students should not visit a hotel room of the opposite gender or someone they are romantically involved with at any time during the trip.
- Students found in a “compromising” situation will be dealt with when we return to school grounds. SCHOOL RULES APPLY WHILE ON A FIELD TRIP. Students, please make good decisions. Do not create a situation that requires intervention and takes away from the experience that everyone else expects to enjoy. Your decisions impact others, both in good and bad ways. Make good choices and the trip will be a success for everyone involved.
- Students are expected to treat chaperones and any adult with respect.
General expectations
- Think before you act. Make good choices.
- Look out for each other. Be kind, helpful and respectful.
- Don’t be late. Plan ahead.
- LISTEN TO INSTRUCTIONS, so that you know WHERE to be and WHEN to be there.
