Parents are welcome to but not required to chaperone. </p> <p>The school bus actually makes me a little nervous. I'm sure it's fine but 3 is so young to to sit on a bus. I will chaperone the first one so I can see how it is- parents ride the bus with the kids, no driving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-taking-field-trips#post-2633548 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 08:46:03 +0000 yin 2633548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO didn't have any field trips in preschool, but they often went out to the creek and took small trips within walking distance. He is in Kindergarten now and will have his first field trip later this month, and he is very excited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-taking-field-trips#post-2633523 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 08:12:50 +0000 looch 2633523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In preschool, there was really no need for field trips as the school was on the grounds of a nature center. There were trails, a small pond, animal rescue hall, playgrounds, etc.</p> <p>Now in public school, in Kindergarten, they do one or two per year. I personally would prefer that they don't do them at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-taking-field-trips#post-2633513 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 07:54:59 +0000 Mamaof2 2633513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you taking about DCP age? If so, then only during summer session and only if you were 4 or older.</p> <p>I much prefer no trips at a young age </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-taking-field-trips#post-2633226 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 18:11:09 +0000 Corduroy 2633226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only walking but I've yet to hear of one. I'm also not sure where they would go. I'm ok with it. I'd rather not have to take a day off to chaparone some place more exciting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-taking-field-trips#post-2633220 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 18:08:51 +0000 Boogs 2633220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only 1, and it was cut short. It was also only a walking field trip. Kind of a bummer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-taking-field-trips#post-2633218 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 18:07:37 +0000 birdofafeather 2633218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we didn't have any last year and this year i think she has 2 (3.5 years old) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-taking-field-trips#post-2633214 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 18:03:22 +0000 sorrycharlie 2633214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They only do two. One we just did yesterday and there's another in spring I'm pretty sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/not-taking-field-trips#post-2631741 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 18:00:00 +0000 Bao 2631741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year LO took about 4 field trips, but this year they said they won't take any unless they are within walking distance, which I'm not sure where they could even go that is within walking distance from the school...that would be educational haha! I enjoyed taking trips with LO last year and getting to know the teachers/parents/kids a little bit better, so it's a bit of a bummer!</p> <p>Does your kiddo NOT take trips at school? </p>
