Field Trip Guidelines
We are pleased to offer exciting field trip opportunities for our students in grades 6 through 12 at Gray Stone Day School.
Field trips provide valuable hands-on learning experiences that extend classroom lessons and promote personal growth.
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants, please review the field trip guidelines below:
- A signed permission slip is required for your child to attend any field trip.
- Students are expected to behave respectfully and follow all directions given by teachers and chaperones. Respect for the trip location, peers, and adults is essential.
- Students must stay with their assigned groups and ride the school-arranged transportation to and from the trip unless otherwise authorized.
- Any costs associated with the trip, such as admission fees or meals, will be communicated in advance.
- Inform the school of any medical conditions, allergies, or medications your child requires. Staff will carry emergency contact information and necessary medical forms.
- Attendance will be taken before departure and upon return, and students are responsible for making up any missed schoolwork.
- The school has emergency procedures in place to address any unexpected situations, and parents will be promptly notified if necessary.
