1. Respect the facilities rules. Observe the guidelines given for eating, drinking, smoking,

petting and/or feeding animals, and remaining in authorized areas.

2. Respect the age restrictions. These are given to enhance the learning for all children.

3. Be on time for events. This usually means 30 minutes before scheduled time of event to

allow for gathering the students together, taking roll, and purchasing tickets. Anyone

arriving after the group has been checked in will forfeit their event fee and be on their

own to check in.

4. Be respectful and courteous to the speakers, tour guides, and employees of the facility. It

is possible that they are volunteering their time. We want to make a good first

impression.

5. Keep comments positive during the event. Reserve any criticism for later. Use pleasant

friendly language.

6. Teachers, watch your students. They should never be left unattended. If you must

discipline your student, please do so in a positive and private manner. If any student(s)

are misbehaving it is at the discretion of the coordinator to ask you to leave.

7. Prepare your student in advance for the event. Let him/her know as much as possible

about what they will encounter. This will help your student to know what is expected of

him/her and the day in general.

8. A thank you note is always welcomed by places we visit.

9. Students are responsible for their own transportation to the event. Teachers are welcome

to carpool as long as arrangements are not made through the school.

10. Please remember that your student(s) and all the others on trips are watching you. Please

refrain from smoking, drinking alcohol, and using vulgar and abusive language.
