RIPS

In order to expedite the smooth planning for field trips, it is necessary that every student desiring attendance on

an approved school trip secure a parental consent form (permission slip) from the teacher/sponsor in charge.

This slip must be signed by a parent and returned.

Field trip attendance does not exempt a student from assignments. It is the responsibility of the student to make

up any test, class work, or homework missed as a result of an approved field trip. All students must adhere to

the school’s behavior policy while attending a field trip. Failure to do so will result in disciplinary action. Only

students who have a satisfactory record of attendance will be permitted to attend field trips.
