Guidelines

FIELD TRIP GUIDELINES

1. Reservations for a field trip and payment of any fees must be made by the deadline specified in the newsletter.

2. Each parent is responsible for the conduct of their children. Arrange with another parent to supervise your child if you cannot be present. YOU are responsible!

3. As stated in Section III, Paragraph 6 of the CHSA Bylaws: “The Field Trip Coordinator may, with the approval of the Committee, allow members to invite adult guests and their children to attend field trips.” Nonmembers will not be allowed without their parent(s).

4. Each parent is responsible to prepare their child for the field trip. Children should understand the importance of making a good impression; therefore, when attending field trips, please dress your children appropriately. Remember we may be the only contact some people ever have with home schoolers. Let’s leave a good impression with them.

5. Make sure children use the restroom before the field trip and upon arrival.

6. If you are unable to attend, cancel your reservations with the coordinator.

7. Notify the coordinator in advance, if you will not be traveling with the group, and be at the field trip location early so as not to delay the others. Being on time is extremely important, as it shows our respect for others. Promptness also leaves a good impression.

8. Each field trip is intended for a specific age group. Adherence to these guidelines will make the field trip more beneficial to those attending. Exceptions should be approved by the coordinator in advance.

P. E. GUIDELINES

1. All participants of the P. E. classes must be members of the Coppell Homeschool Association.

2. In general, no fees are charged. However, occasionally a nominal fee may be required for use of a facility. The sessions are led by CHSA volunteers who wish to provide a fun atmosphere for the children while they enjoy recreational physical education.

3. P. E. classes are determined by interest and availability of facilities. Typically, there will be 3 sessions planned each year; the fall session lasting 6-8 weeks, the winter session lasting 4-6 weeks, and the spring session lasting 4-6 weeks. In addition, there is a “Family Field Day” planned each April.

4. Each parent is ultimately responsible for their child’s behavior. If there is a behavioral problem, the parent will be notified and asked to attend class with their child for the rest of the session.

5. Classes will begin promptly at the scheduled time. For your child’s safety and enjoyment, please arrive 5 minutes before class begins.

6. A parent will be responsible to help somewhere in the P. E. session. Parents will be assigned areas to help in at the beginning of each session.

7. Parents are required to attend every week with their children for the Presidential Fitness session.
