Field Trip Chaperones

October 20, 2009

My Dear Families. I wanted to send home an explanation of the chaperon, finger print card issue. First, let me apologize for things not being clearer and for any heartache it may have caused you.. The state has mandated that any chaperon that is alone with any student other than their own hold a finger print clearance card. The Apple Annie's field trip will require students to be alone with their chaperon at sometime during the event. You may attend the field trip with your child after having your finger prints run at the office. You may not be assigned a group to chaperon, but you may be part of a group that has an assigned chaperon. Finger print cards are good for years and though they are expensive to get, they will allow you to chaperon any filed trip your child's class goes on. The finger prints run in the front office allow you to be on campus, in the classroom, and go with your child on field trips. Again, please forgive me for the confusion. I am looking forward to seeing many of you on Friday for the field trip!
Ms. A.
