Parent-Led Field Trips

Families can find group/teacher-led field trips on the Event Calendar and sign up for these events through the links provided in the Wednesday Weekly. Field trip registration generally opens the second week of the month preceding the trip. For instance, if the field trip is going to be held in December, registration generally opens the second week in November. Some large events may open earlier.

Daily admission tickets/basic annual passes for students and chaperones, up to one chaperone pass per every four students in the household that are enrolled, can be purchased for museums, botanical gardens, zoos, science centers, aquariums, and other inherently educational venues.

Instructional funds may be used to purchase parent-led educational field trips, including chaperone tickets to attend trips and events with your students.

• Trips may begin 9/1 or later and locations must be in California or the South Lake Tahoe Region. If you are considering a field trip outside this area, please contact your HST for guidance.
