Hopkins School District #270

Extended field trips are excursions, which require students to be accommodated overnight.  Hopkins School District recognizes that a properly planned, well conducted, and carefully supervised extended field trip may provide a mode of learning which is relevant, challenging and dynamic and which cannot be duplicated in the classroom or extracurricular setting. As such, extended field trips of value are to be encouraged within available resources by minimizing, where possible, the costs incurred by the District and students without jeopardizing student safety.
