P. FIELD TRIPS<br />
Field trips must be of an educational nature (extended instructional activities).<br />
Requests must originate with the building principal and be approved by the area<br />
superintendent.<br />
All trips need to be planned well in advance and have a written bus requisition submitted by<br />
the designated date each month for the following month's trips.<br />
All free/reduced price students must be allowed a sack lunch meal from the school cafeteria<br />
which meets child nutrition regulations. Paying students must be allowed to choose the same<br />
lunch to be paid for at the regular lunch price so as not to identify the free/reduced students.<br />
Student meal cards may be used. The cafeteria manager must have at least two weeks<br />
advance notice so she may order the food for these lunches. A field trip form must be<br />
completed by the adult in charge.<br />
If possible, all costs associated with a field trip should be funded by campus organizations or<br />
special revenue funds. When necessary, campuses can ask all students to pay the same<br />
nominal charge for field trips. Funds collected from students can only be used to pay for field<br />
trip expenses and cannot be transferred to other accounts. All funds must be receipted<br />
through <strong>Aldine</strong>.<br />
Every child needs written parental permission before going on a trip.<br />
An approved list of field trips is maintained by the area superintendent.<br />
Trips should be scheduled from October through April in order to alleviate transportation<br />
problems. Plan to schedule field trips on Tuesday through Friday. Exceptions must be<br />
approved by area superintendent.<br />
Field trips are not to be extended beyond 100 miles from <strong>Aldine</strong> ISD.<br />
Middle school students do not participate in overnight field trips.<br />
Children not enrolled in the class/grade/school may not ride the bus.<br />
Adults chosen to serve as sponsors in a supervisory capacity may ride the school bus.<br />
Field trips funded through special program funds must meet the requirements of the funding<br />
source. Lesson plans must document pre and post educational field trip activities.<br />
Campuses must provide transportation for all students eligible to go on field trips, ie<br />
wheelchair bus.<br />
Any parent or adult who volunteers regularly with students must have a criminal background<br />
check.<br />
Parents who volunteer as chaperones on field trips must go through the Raptor system before<br />
going on a field trip.<br />
*Refer to end of section II for guidelines and regulations governing field trips.<br />
Q. PHYSICAL EDUCATION/WELLNESS PARTICIPATION<br />
All students will be required to participate in physical education except:<br />
Students who have district approved Category I and Category II physical education waivers. In<br />
the event a student has been ill and the parents have requested that they be excused from<br />
participation in PE for three (3) days, such requests should be honored. No penalty to the<br />
student's grade should be involved in such instances. The note from the parent is to be given to<br />
the physical education teacher who will honor it. If this becomes a frequent occurrence, then the<br />
physical education teacher should ask the nurse to contact the parent and investigate the<br />
situation further. During the recovery time, the student will continue to learn the concepts of the<br />
lessons but will not actively participate in the skill demonstration. (LOTC can take the place of<br />
PE.)<br />
Common sense and good judgment can help with better public relations in all such cases.<br />
