Field Trips

Field trips are an essential part of this course. Students are expected to attend all trips.

It is the student's responsibility to inform all of their teachers BEFORE the field trip. You are responsible for getting and completing all assignments you miss as a result of the field trip. We will likely go on field trips even if it is raining, except in severe circumstances. If there is inclement weather on the day of a field trip, please listen for announcements, watch your phone for a remind text, or contact Mr. Strieb. If a field trip is cancelled you are responsible for any work, for any of your classes that is due that day.

Filled-out, signed permission slips must be handed in by the date requested by Mr. Strieb. As some trips have limited space, students will be allowed to go on trips based on the order in which permission slips are received. Students who were not able to go on a previous trip will be given priority on the next trip. If you do not go on a field trip, you are required to attend class with a substitute and complete an assignment.

Mr. Strieb reserves the right to exclude a student from a field trip because of behavioral or academic issues in his or another teacher's class.

For all field trips, please bring lunch, water and sunscreen. Do not bring inappropriate materials. On all trips you must wear close-toed, comfortable shoes (i.e., sneakers) that can get dirty and wet. You will not be allowed to go on the trip in sandals or flip flops
