Key Things to Remember

  • Include any special requests and equipment requirements upfront.  For example:  Wheelchair bus, storage, AC or a recliner bus.  Last minute requests might not be available.
  • Order lunches through Nutrition Services at least two weeks in advance.
  • Lunch stops must be noted on the original field trip request.  Parents must sign off on the permission slip with all locations listed.  Changes cannot be added the day of the trip!
  • Last minute time changes will not be granted.  You must return on time; these buses are scheduled for other trips or used for our home to school busing.  If you fail to come out on time, we will instruct the bus to leave.
  • All trips must have the chaperon’s contact phone number in case of an emergency.
  • Tournaments are to be entered as any other field trip would but with one change, departure times are to be entered accurately for the first game and 12:00 a.m. for every game thereafter. All TBA’s need to be called in by 7:30 a.m. on game day to ensure transportation.

     advance or you will be charged full price.

  • If busing is arranged by a third party (for example UCI) all certifications for any bus company being used must be submitted to Transportation at the same time as the field trip request.  Certifications for district approved vendors will not need to be submitted.
  • Please avoid field trips on Wednesdays and conference week due to early outs.
  • Toll roads may be used however, it’s the customer’s responsibility for paying any applicable toll fees.
  • All trips must go through the entire approval process before taking students off campus.
