Reminder: Car Seats or Booster Seats for K-4 if needed/required
 Field trips are an excellent opportunity for Veritas Christian Academy students and families to enjoy learning and experience many interesting things. Generally, the teacher issues field trip permission forms 2 weeks to 10 days before the date of the field trip. If the trip is to be an overnight trip, teachers will try to get the permission slips out two months in advance so that parents can plan time off of work in order to accompany their child. Students will not be eligible to go unless the school has received the completed field trip permission form and any money that is required for the student to attend this field trip.
When students travel out to field trips they must do so in safety. Parents or qualified drivers will be employed. Parents will only be allowed to transport the number of students that can be safely seat belted into their vehicle.
Field trips are times when students represent Veritas Christian Academy. Students should be in formal uniform unless stated otherwise and must always behave in a manner that is fitting. If students are disruptive on field trips, they may not be allowed to continue on the current field trip or might not be allowed to attend one or more future trips.
As students grow older, their field trips will become more interesting and last longer. Sometimes trips will be offered that require a student to stay overnight away from Chesapeake. On these trips, students will only be allowed to attend if they are with their parents, or if their parents have made arrangements for them to be chaperoned by another family or adult, especially when the student is participating in our Spring Break Abroad International Field Trip. Families are always encouraged to go on these and all trips.
