Field Trip Policy

• A student must be present at school and enrolled in CCS to participate in a school field trip.
• Any student attending a field trip must ride the CCS school bus to and back from the destination.
• A student can never be signed out from the site of a field trip by anyone, including a parent/guardian.

• A student can never ride with a parent in separate transportation and join a field trip.
• If you are able to attend a field trip as one of our counted chaperones, please plan on riding the school bus unless other accommodations have been made with your teacher. On some occasions the school bus will be at capacity and chaperones will be asked to ride separately.
• Younger siblings/children cannot ride the bus and cannot participate in field trips. A parent chaperone cannot bring younger siblings/children.
• A CCS staff member must be with all groups at field trip locations. A parent chaperone cannot be left alone with a student or group of students.
• All CCS students attending a CCS field trip must wear a red top and blue bottoms (see CCS Uniform Policy for types of shirts/bottoms that may be worn.) Any of the acceptable tops/bottoms may be worn as long as they are red (top) and blue (bottoms.)
• All CCS school and bus procedures, rules, and policies apply during all field trips.
• Parent chaperones do not help prepare the class for the field trip inside the classroom. Instead, they meet the class by the busses prior to departure.
• Fees paid to Challenge Charter School for field trips must be paid in cash and are non-refundable if the payment has already been made to the venue.
