Get Involved

Join Us in Supporting Our Scholars

Your involvement makes a difference! From field trips to classroom activities, there are many ways to connect with your child's education and our school community.

Field Trip Chaperoning

How to Become a Chaperone

Step 1: Apply Online
 Complete the Volunteer Information Form to request chaperone approval.

Step 2: Wait for Approval
 You'll receive an email with your 'approved' or 'declined' status.

Step 3: Secure Your Spot
 Once approved, chaperone spots are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis (or first-pay, first-served when fees apply).

Important Notes:

  • Chaperone fees must be paid at the Main Office only 

  • No spots held unless your child requires a mandatory chaperone 

  • Space is limited on each field trip
