Student Activities and Field Trips Teachers arrange varied activities for student participation at each grade level. These activities include field trips, chapel services, assembly programs, athletic field day, and musical programs. Generally speaking, two field trips are planned each year for grades K-5 and are educationally driven. No student may attend such a trip without a signed permission slip. Transportation will be provided by the school’s bus. Admission charges, food, and drinks are paid by the student. Ideally one adult chaperone is required for every 10 students. Parents who wish to accompany their child on field trips should make this request to the teacher and transport themselves to the event. Heritage understands the desire of parents to share in this activity with their child; however, the number of parents per field trip is limited , since additional people impact the activity in various ways. Although the students are off campus during the activity, it is still considered a school function and the students are participating as a class under the teacher’s direction. Parents are expected to assist the teacher as requested and function as part of the group at all times. No siblings, please. Student Records The school maintains a file for each student. All student file materials are treated as strictly confidential and are available only according to the following policy: • No report cards or student records will be released to parents or to another school if the family is delinquent in tuition payments or has a debt of any kind with the school. • Parents or guardians have the right to inspect and review all official records, files and data directly related to their child’s academic progress, including all material that is incorporated into their student’s cumulative record folder. • Parental requests to inspect and review official records relating to a child shall be made in writing to the Principal. Such requests will be honored within ten school days following receipt of the request. All records will be reviewed or inspected in the presence of the Principal so that proper explanation can be given. There will be no release of a student’s personal records, files or any data in those records without the written consent of parent or guardian to any individual, agency, or organization other than the following: • Staff members of the school who have legitimate educational interest • Court or law enforcement officials if the school is given a subpoena or court order • Certain federal, state, or local authorities performing functions allowed by law
