Students that will miss school due to a trip must complete an Educational Field Trip form 2 weeks prior to the trip. These may be obtained from the school office or simply fill out the attached form.
Parents must accurately complete the form including the destination, length of trip, reason the trip could not be taken during a non-school day and education rationale.
Hempfield Area School District allows 5 school days to be missed for educational fieldtrips, any additional days will be charged as illegal absences.
Following principal approval, the parents will receive a copy of the approved form for their records and a copy will be placed in the student's permanent folder.
