Thank You for Your Support! At Chandler Unified School District, we believe that field trips provide a valuable educational experience for students. Field trips increase student knowledge and understanding of a subject and add realism to the topic of study. Without the help of volunteer chaperones, most field trips would not be possible.

Thank you very much for giving your time and support to these important activities. In order to help ensure that school-sponsored field trips result in safe and rewarding experiences for all participants, we have prepared these guidelines to provide information about volunteering as a field trip chaperone.

Becoming a Field Trip Volunteer

Because student safety is our paramount concern, all volunteers must have successfully completed and submitted an electronic Tier III Volunteer application and have been recommended by the school site to the Human Resources department. A background check link will then be provided by the district Human Resources department for overnight field trips prior to the trip. Tier III background checks can take several weeks to process, so for overnight field trips, this information needs to be completed in a timely manner.

Those attending day trips need to complete the Tier I & Tier II form at least three days prior to the field trip.

Guidelines for Volunteers

Prior to the field trip, the classroom teacher or trip coordinator will provide you with information regarding the activities planned for the trip, expectations for supervising students, and emergency procedures. In addition, the following general guidelines will help you effectively perform your duties as a chaperone. If you have questions regarding these guidelines, please talk to the teacher or principal.

All school rules apply on school sponsored field trips. Chaperones are expected to comply with school policies, follow the directions given by the coordinating teacher, work cooperatively with other volunteers and school staff members, and model appropriate behaviors for students. The chaperone will follow the trip plan developed by the teacher.
Field trip volunteers must have their photo I.D. at all times.

Chandler Unified School District is a tobacco and drug free campus, so be sure to leave any of these items you forget, they must remain in the car, but by law it should not be on school grounds or with you on field trips. Since field trips are a school function there is no smoking on field trips. Chaperones may not administer any medications, prescription or nonprescription, to students.

Students must be supervised at all times while at a school sponsored event. As a chaperone, you will supervise a small group of students, helping them learn and making sure they behave appropriately. Students must stay with you, their chaperone, at all times. Go over use of the buddy system with students under your care. Account for all participants regularly and before changing activities.

Be sure you know when and where to meet the rest of your group at the end of the visit. Chaperones must be readily available, be mindful of safety concerns, and respond to students’ needs.

Please turn your cell phone off or put it on vibrate while on a field trip
. The phone distracts the students and if you are talking on the phone you may lose track of the students you are assigned to.

Student behavior is your responsibility. School rules related to student behavior apply. Go over rules and standards of behavior, safety rules, and any site specific rules with students. Ensure that students do not get involved in any extra activities not pre-approved by the teacher. While you are responsible for student behavior, it is the responsibility…
