FIELD TRIPS
As a part of admission requirements, parents must sign a field trip authorization form allowing their child to participate in local field trips. For out-of-town field trips, all parental permission forms or waiver statements must be returned to the field trip faculty organizer 48 hours prior to the trip. Students without permission slips or waiver statements will not be allowed to go on the trip. On all field trips, either educational or recreational, students leave and return to the school together. Students may leave the group only after returning to Brent School. Unless otherwise stated, students going on field trips are to be in school uniform and are expected to abide by all school rules. Students must travel to off-campus sites using school-approved transportation. Private cars are not allowed, unless approved in advance for exigent reasons by the Principal. Student-driven cars are not permitted.

In some instances, parents may be asked to chaperone field trips. For safety reasons, only designated chaperones will be permitted to accompany Lower School field trips. Chaperones are required to actively take charge of and lead small groups; as such, no other family members – babies, toddlers or other children- are permitted to accompany the chaperone. Only students enrolled in the class for which the field trip is intended may participate in the trip.
