Field trips are provided to expand and enrich the student’s learning experience. We seek to take advantage of the many cultural opportunities available in Boerne, San Antonio and surrounding areas. Most field trips are interwoven with a unit of study whether it is history, literature, science, etc.
Drivers for field trips must be on the approved drivers list (see your division’s executive assistant) and are scheduled through the classroom teacher of each class. We require that each child, adult and teacher have his/her own seat belt and they are worn at all times while in transit. Children under twelve are not permitted in seats with air bags. Geneva students may not drive on field trips.
A Student Information/Release Form must be on file in the School Office for students in all grades to participate on field trips.
Basic Guidelines
- All drivers must be at least 25 years of age, have a valid license and current auto liability coverage.
- Other than a child authorized to be on the field trip, children of supervisory personnel are not permitted on School-sponsored trips.
- Admission and other costs for drivers and chaperones are not covered by the school (exceptions must be approved by the division head).
- A minimum of two adults in every vehicle carrying students is required.
- In order to determine the suitability for volunteering and/or mentoring in a school setting, Geneva School screens all employees and volunteers who qualify for any criminal history record information, pursuant to Texas Education Code Section 22.083. This may include a search of local, State and/or Federal law enforcement agency records. All chaperones must also have a current certificate of passing for Ministry Safe on file with the school.
