Parent/Guardian permission must be obtained for all trips and students are under the auspices of all school rules during all off campus school related activities.

Educational Day Trips:
The Hudson School District recognizes that field trips are natural extensions of the curricular and extra curricular programs, including activities. The School Board encourages appropriate, carefully planned field trips that lead to new learning or reinforce what has been already learned at school.

Each student shall have an equal opportunity to participate in field trips that are taken by the student group. The availability of field trip opportunities for students is commensurate with the funds that can be allocated or raised to support such activities. The District will strive to offer field trip experiences with a minimum of expense to the individual students.

Extracurricular Day Trips:
Any trip, which is not directly related to the instructional program but is related to a school-sponsored or connected activity, is considered an extracurricular trip. Participation and competition in extra-curricular activities, including athletics, provides an opportunity to teach in a student-centered environment. Extra-curricular activities enhance the classroom experience by promoting sportsmanship, cooperation, commitment, and respect.

The district recognizes that there may be the potential for conflict between academic commitments and co-curricular activities. All efforts should be made to have as little disruption to the student academic day/year as possible. Students will remain responsible for all academic activities as assigned by their classroom teacher.

Overnight Trips:
Any trips that involve overnight, or international travel requires permission from the superintendent and the Hudson School Board. All efforts should be made to have as little disruption to the student day/year as possible. In the planning and preparation for all overnight and international travel, student safety should remain top priority at all times.
