For club sports:
Club sports will be treated as field trips. All events/practices can be listed on a single permission form and you will need to have the high risk box checked for sailing and mountain bike clubs. Due to the high risk nature of these activities, these field trips will require board approval as well as a super waiver. The Swimming Supplement is required for all water related field trips.
As with Out-of-State and High Risk Field trips, your trip needs board approval, the Field Trip Request form and Swimming Supplement MUST BE SUBMITTED to the District Office at least 1 MONTH prior to the date of the Field Trip.
Polo and Swim Teams:
Polo and Swim teams do not need the swim supplement or super wavier.
Bike or Sailing Clubs:
These clubs need to submit the super waiver in addition to all Field Trip forms. Please submit all the same field trip forms filled out and if there are multiple dates, we need multiple forms as listed above and any date changes will need updated forms.
Changes in Dates:
Changes in dates for field trips that are high risk, out of state or include swimming, will need to go to the board for approval. An updated Request for Field Trip, Verification form, Permission Slips, Swimming Supplement and Super Wavier (all wiith new date) must be submitted to the District Office at least 1 WEEK prior to the date of Board Meeting.
