Field Trip Policy
It is that time of year were we have many overnight field trips. Washington Open as well as other schools in the district has recently been under scrutiny for not following closely to safety regulations. We must all be vigilant to abide by all district and school policies.
To ensure the safety of all field trip participants, we adhere to the following:
- All drivers must have the district mandated car insurance. The current minimum is $300,000 liability, $100,000 bodily injury and $50,000 property coverage. A copy of your insurance policy stating that you have the appropriate coverage must be on file (with a filled out cover sheet) here at school.
- All drivers must have a safe vehicle, including one seat belt for each passenger.
- Each driver must carry an emergency card for each child assigned to that vehicle.
- Students younger than six years old or weighting less than 60 pounds must be in an appropriate booster seat provided by his/her parent.
- Classroom field trips are intended for Washington Open students and parents providing additional supervision/transportation. Siblings may not attend field trips with the exception of end-of-the-year celebrations with the notification and permission of the principal
- All students participating in a classroom field trip must depart from the school with their class and return to school with their class.
- Students may not be signed out by anyone from the field trip location unless it is a medical emergency and the school office has been notified
- Former Washington Open students MAY NOT attend school sponsored field trips.
