Some field trips may require an admission or other charge. Every attempt is made to keep the costs of admission and transportation reasonable and to make provisions for students who cannot afford them. You should ask the principal, if you need help in paying for a field trip. Most elementary schools have after-school care programs located at the school. Programs are operated by licensed child-care providers approved by the district.
Scholarships are available for needy students.
Students may be able to ride the school bus to these programs in their attendance zone or may be picked up at school. Call the school office to find out what programs serve your child's school and how to enroll. Attendance Excused absences One of the most important things you, as a parent, can do is make sure your child attends school regularly. While some absences for illness are unavoidable, nothing can replace the educational, cultural and social contacts which students experience through regular participation in class. Students with good attendance achieve more than students who often are absent.
