Field Trip Policy:
Parents, thank you for representing homeschooling professionally. Do not talk among yourselves during the tour or let your children talk out of turn. It is very distracting, and disrespectful to the presenter. Teach your children to show respect for the presenter by listening carefully yourself.
If you sign up for a trip, respect the planner/host and actually show up. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, funds paid by no-shows may possibly be retained (planner has discretion). Hosts prepare for our field trips based on the number of people we report will be attending which often entails bringing in extra personnel or meeting quotas to receive a group discount. When people do not show up, it refelects poorly on the homeschool community as a whole. You may not be bound to a curiculum or group but common courtesy dictates respect.
Listen to the rules of the location and follow them precisely. Make sure your children are following the rules.
Use the buddy system (nobody should venture anywhere alone).
Students should stay with the group or parent (parents—please pay attention to your children).
Touch what you have permission to touch.
Go where you have permission to go.
Stay quiet when an adult/the guide is talking (parents, this includes YOU).
Participants should raise their hands to ask a question or speak.
No candy or gum. Food/snacks only in designated areas.
If your child becomes disruptive please remove him and attend to his needs, you may arrange a buddy system with another mom so that you older child does not miss out.
Thank the guide or host (a note is nice!). We will usually bring a card or poster for families to sign prior to the tour.
We dont have a dress code, but parents please ensure your kiddos are neat, clean and dressed in appropriate clothing.
We love pictures and take a lot of them. Some pictures may appear on our Facebook page. We respect your privacy, so if you do not want your child on the Facebook page please let us know.
All families take full responsibility for their children and attend events "at your own risk". CHARGe is not responsible for any accidents, injuries, or loss of personal property at any events.
