Please read, complete, and submit the following form by August 1, 2009.

Educational research confirms that effective education balances facts, application and experience. High educational achievement includes opportunities for students to implement and practice what they learn academically, socially and spiritually.  

Our field trips are considered part of our learning objectives which supplement our in-school learning objectives. They are not considered extracurricular or optional. All students are expected to attend these field trips and programs as a part of the regular curriculum. Because of the importance we place on these activities, CDS reserves the right to lower the student’s grade in a particular discipline for non-attendance if he/she does not have an excused absence. 

There are normally no more than three field trips per year per grade.

Your written permission is required for your child to participate in these trips.  We are providing a blanket permission form for you to complete and sign.  This form will be kept on file at the school.  If you wish your student to not participate in a certain field trip, you may notify the teacher in writing.

Before each trip, you will be sent a note from the teacher specifying the arrangements and details regarding the field trip.  Payments for the field trip must be made in advance.  Siblings are not permitted to attend field trips even when parents go as chaperones.

I understand that if I do not wish my child to participate in a particular trip, I must notify the teacher or school in writing prior to the trip.
