“Too many parents want to chaperone to be ‘buddies’ with the kids rather than to help them stay safe and learn.”–Scott “I ask them to be responsible for monitoring all students that are assigned to them at all times. Have a brief meeting with chaperones before you leave school to set expectations. Prepare an informational sheet that lists: students’ names, itinerary, departure location, goals for the trip, emergency contact information and any other important instructions your chaperones should know. Here are some do’s and don’ts to ensure your parent chaperones are well equipped to help you provide a safe, stress-free and spectacular field trip experience!
