If the saying that “One picture is worth a thousand words” is true, then Educational Trips are of inestimable value.

Every student will be provided the opportunity to broaden his/her classroom experiences through field trips.

Our teachers will expose the students to as many places of interest as possible.

Procedures For Taking A Field Trip

• The teacher will send to you a written announcement regarding a proposed trip.  All pertinent information will be provided on the form.

• The parent is to sign the form and return it to the teacher.

• A pupil cannot leave the school for participation in an excursion without written parental approval.

• All classes will have at least three (3) field trips.

• We invite our parents (wherever possible) to participate in the field trip activity.

• Insurance is required for all students taking trips outside of the city.  This added cost must be borne by the parent.

• Our trips are for educational and cultural experiences.  The trip destination will relate to a unit or area of study.

As a staff at Nannie Helen Burroughs, we will plan trips that will provide our students with an ever-increasing awareness of their neighborhood, community, city and country.
