Learning Electives provided by the Berrien Springs Partnership
Field Trip BONUS Experience: ONE trip per FAMILY
Field Trips will no longer be an actual class. Since Field Trips will not be a class, it does NOT require a project. However, any trip taken can be used as the basis of inspiration for the project for any class on a student's schedule. The Partnership will pay for any Partnership student trip costs, but parents and non partnership siblings will need to pay any cost associated with the experience as listed.
Registration for each trip will be on a first come basis and each family may only take ONE trip per semester. For many of you, this will be a big adjustment. A per trip list of interested families will be kept in case of cancellations. Please email Becky Halcombe of your interest in any trip which may come up as FULL during the registration process.
POLICY - please read carefully:
Each trip 'Experience' is designed as a resource to complement the learning that your student is already participating in through Partnership classes. Our goal is to prompt further exploration and discovery for your student and take them to another level of learning.
We require that a parent or assigned chaperone accompany the student who is registered for each trip. This means that any accompanying adult will have to pay their own fees as well as the fees of any other children coming along who are NOT Partnership students. These fees are at reduced group rates and are posted after the description of each trip. We love for families to be able to enjoy these wonderful trips together! This is how lasting learning best happens.
Transportation is not provided for trips this year. All trips are DRIVE only with students and parents meeting Becky Halcombe at the TRIP location.
It is SCHOOL WIDE POLICY, that any adult coming along on a Field Trip must submit to a FREE background check in September. I will, as well, tell you HOW to go about this .... after registration. It is very simple.
If you find your family wanting to "join in" on a trip that appears FULL in registration, don't despair! You may still have opportunity to do so as cancellations take place. Please notify Becky Halcombe rhalcombe@homeoftheshamrocks.org of your intentions and interest in a trip that appears FULL ...as early as possible. Your name will be kept on a list until availability can be determined and numbers are finalized; which often happens right up until the week of the trip.
