Field Trips
Field trips are scheduled at special points during the year as an extension of the curriculum. In an effort to reduce costs, field trips for each grade level will not exceed $20.00 cost per student for the field trip. Additional money may be collected for lunches and snacks.
When chaperoning field trips, please supervise assigned children and monitor their behavior in accordance with the rules and guidelines set forth by the grade level or facility. Since field trips should be a special time for parents and students, we respectfully ask that you make other arrangements for ALL siblings.
Families will pay any fees associated with field trips and sign permission slips using the SchoolCashOnline website. This is the same website used for class fees.
Students may participate only if an online permission slip is signed by a parent or legal guardian prior to the trip.
More instructions about Maryville City Schools online payments can be found here.
When you are filling out the online forms for field trips, please look for three options:
1. Sign permission slip and pay for your child.
2. Sign permission slip, pay for your child and pay for another child as a scholarship.
3. Sign permission slip only. Families who are unable to pay for the field trip are welcome to send their child without paying, as long as the permission slip option is selected. We hope you will feel comfortable selecting this option if it helps your family.
Field trips that are classified as walking activities are covered by the “Walking Field Trip Permission Slip” signed by parents or legal guardians at the beginning of the school year. Teachers will announce any walking field trip prior to the activity. Any parent who does not want their child to participate must send written word to the teacher prior to the day of the field trip.
