Every student is required to have an emergency card on file in the school office. The plan has been officially approved by the Roanoke City School Board and the State Board of Education. It has also been widely read and has involved physicians, ministers, and PTA leaders. This material will not be taught as a separate course, but as a part of the existing program in Health Education. The school offers field trips to students to enrich and enhance their learning experiences.
Field trips are an extension of the curriculum of the school.
The teacher will send a specific permission blank to be signed by parent or guardian for field trips. This form must be signed and returned before your child may go on the field trip. A student's behavior plays a major role in determining who gets the opportunity to participate in a field trip. Deadlines for returning permission forms and money will be strictly enforced by teachers. A Roanoke City Schools field trip form must be on file 24 hours before each trip.
