Please allow the teacher to make vehicle assignments for
students.If you have a suggestion
or preference, please let the teacher know a day ahead of time so this can
be taken into consideration.Teachers sometimes have special reasons that they may not be free
to explain for assigning specific seating arrangements.You will be provided with a list of the
names of the children being transported in your vehicle.
Students are to return with the same person and vehicle that
transported them for this event.Only an administrator or the sponsoring teacher can make exceptions
to this.Usually, exceptions are
reserved for emergency situations only.
Copies of the Emergency Medical Release Forms for all students will
be with the teacher if the trip destination is more than ten miles from
the school.
Seat belts must be worn at all times.It is for this reason that children may
be transported only in the cabs of pickup or other types of trucks.Note that only one child is permitted
per working seat belt.
Please be sure that you understand the route to be taken.A map and/or directions will be provided
by the teacher.Please stick to the
assigned route to and from the field trip.Do not take a “better” way or stop for snacks unless this is part
of the teacher’s plan.
It is expected that you will obey all the traffic laws including
maintaining acceptable speed limits.
When traveling, cars will “caravan” together.At no time should cars pass the “lead
car” or take “side trips” away from the caravan.Nor should you take “chances” to keep up
with the caravan, such as entering an intersection when the light is
already yellow.
Please call the school right away if you experience car trouble or
become lost.If someone has been
hurt or is ill, and the teacher is not readily available for consultation,
please call the school for instructions.
Children must enter and leave the vehicle from the curbside unless
the vehicle is in a protected parking area or driveway.
Children must not be left unattended in a vehicle.
Students should not eat or drink in your car without your
permission.They have been
instructed to use quiet voices when talking and to keep their hands/feet
to themselves.If any student does
not cooperate, please inform the teacher.
