Health Services staff do not routinely accompany students on field trips. Prior to leaving the building, health service staff, teachers, parents/guardians and students share the responsibility of communicating health issues that may need to be addressed while on the field trip.

If medication is needed during the time of the field trip, the child’s teacher will be designated to assume this responsibility after receiving appropriate medication administration instructions. The student’s parent/guardian may also choose to chaperone the field trip and dispense their child’s medication.
