Students will not be charged a fee to attend required field trips. However, students will normally be charged to take part in optional field trips. All school regulations are in effect during field trips. Dress code is in effect on all field trips unless otherwise noted on the field trip permission form. Each student going on the trip is to return a signed Parent Permission Form to the classroom teacher.
