Parent Drivers for Field Trips and School Events

Field trips are a natural enhancement of student learning at school. There will be times, during the school year, that your child has an opportunity to go on a field trip. Although these are optional activities, we encourage all students to attend field trips to enhance their understanding of the topics covered in class.

volunteer drivers. Volunteer drivers fill out a Driver Authorization Form available in the office.  This form enables drivers to receive additional insurance coverage as per School Board Policy.  The original form must be signed by the owner of the vehicle and the original copy of the form is to be carried in the vehicle being driven.

No child under the age of 13 may ride in the front seat if the passenger side is equipped with an air bag.

In adherence with the BC motor vehicle law, students in the primary years need to be transported in vehicles using booster seats. You will be asked to supply a booster seat for your child for field trips that use volunteer drivers.
