Field Trips / Out-of-town Trips

Field trips are a valuable component of the school programs, but participation in them is a privilege. Since make-up lessons are not required, students are responsible for ensuring they have class work/assignments completed and are prepared for quizzes, long tests, or examinations upon their return from official trips. 

Field trips should be tied directly to classroom instruction or co-curricular activities. The school does not view field trips as class “outings.” 

The school may not allow some students to join trips due to behavioral, moral, or academic reasons. Participants are expected to show the same responsible behavior on trips as required in school. 

Students must be reminded that even if they are outside the school, they must conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the school’s name and honor. They should not utter offensive language or display inappropriate behavior. They should take utmost care that any mischief, misbehavior, and poor conduct committed during these out-of-school trips does not embarrass the school. The Student Honor Code, the school’s policy on anti-bullying and child protection, still applies.  

The Student Honor Code Applies During School Trips: 
The school may not allow students to join trips due to behavioral, moral, or academic reasons. Participants are expected to show the same responsible behavior on trips as required in school. The Student Honor Code covers field/out-of-town trips and any violation of it will be dealt with disciplinary sanction or cause expulsion.

After the trip, the teachers need to remain with the students until they are sure everyone has a way home. No students will be allowed to join without the signed parent-permit.  

Unofficial Class or Student Activities: 
Class events, outings, or trips not approved by the school director are the personal accountability and responsibility of the parents and the teachers initiating or coordinating them. Parents may or may not allow their child to join unofficial activities and should not affect the student’s academic grades or school requirements. 

Class outings/trips not approved by the school director is the personal accountability and responsibility of parents and the teacher initiating them.
