MANDATORY VOLUNTEER AGREEMENT

Before you volunteer for a field trip, you must complete the LCMSD Volunteer Agreement to confirm that you understand and agree to our volunteer expectations. This form must be completed annually.

FIELD TRIP CHAPERONES

All chaperones, including drivers, must complete the Chaperone Guidelines Form for each field trip they volunteer to chaperone. Chaperones must also have their drivers license scanned by the school office staff prior to the field trip.

FIELD TRIP DRIVER CRITERIA

Student safety is our top priority. We confirm that each field trip driver applicant holds a valid CA driver’s license and review their DMV Driver's Record prior to approval. Drivers with any history of serious violations (such as DUI, reckless driving, excessive speeding, license suspension, or revocation) or multiple moving violations within the last five years are not approved to transport students. In general, we may allow one minor moving violation, including a single cell phone violation, provided it does not reflect a pattern of unsafe driving. In the case of a cell phone violation, the driver is reminded of California’s hands-free laws and our expectation of strict compliance while transporting students. Any record that suggests ongoing risk, repeated violations, or impaired judgment will result in denial at the District's discretion. Denials will be reported via email from the District Office.

FIELD TRIP DRIVE APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

At least 10 days prior to a field trip, all field trip drivers must submit a Driver Authorization Form with the required documentation specified below.

FIELD TRIP LUNCH INFORMATION

Field Trip Lunches

As we transition to our new lunch provider, Ordo Foods, we are still finalizing the process for ordering lunches for field trips.

Until Ordo’s parent lunch-ordering app is up and running, teachers will ask families in advance if their student would like a school-provided lunch for an upcoming field trip.

Our Child Nutrition Technician, Lara Dillon, will coordinate directly with Ordo to place field trip lunch orders.

For questions regarding field trip lunches, please contact Lara Dillon at ldillon@lcmschools.org.

This temporary process will be used for upcoming October field trips while we continue working with Ordo to streamline field trip meal ordering.
