CHAPERONE
GUIDELINES
|
|
The
role of a chaperone is to protect the health, safety and
well being of our students. All of our rules and policies
regarding chaperones derive from this idea.
|
- You
must be the parent or legal guardian of a current band
student or a member of the band staff to serve as a
chaperone for band activities. Only adults with a parental
relationship to a band student may serve as chaperones.
- Chaperones
have the duty and responsibility to speak to any band
student regarding appropriate behavior. If, after speaking
with the student, the behavior does not improve, the
chaperone should bring the matter to a staff member.
Chaperones should expect to be obeyed without the need
for shouting, yelling or the use of sarcasm. If a situation
develops in which a student is unresponsive to a chaperone's
instructions, a staff member should become involved.
- A
staff member is assigned to ride each bus. The staff
member is "in charge" of the bus that he/she
is riding and has final decision making authority.
- Chaperones
are expected to remain in the general area of the band
so that they are available to provide assistance in
the event of an emergency.
- When
traveling on the bus, the chaperones need to be seated
throughout the bus to assure that all areas of the bus
can be seen.
- Chaperones
will be placed on buses based on the need. You may or
may not be placef on the bus with your child. We have
to make sure that we have an adequate number of chaperones
on each bus and try to have some experienced chaperones
on each bus.
- Chaperones
are responsible for paying their own expenses. You need
to be prepared to pay the gate admission to ballgames,
festivals and competitions. For festivals and competitions,
you need to be prepared to stay all day (and return
late at night) and be prepared to pay for your admission,
snacks and meals. For overnight trips, you will have
to pay your own expenses.
- When
returning from a trip, the chaperones are to remind
students to gather all of their belongings and assist
with removing trash from bus. Chaperones are to check
the bus after all students have exited to assure that
all trash and belongings have been removed.
- Chaperones
are expected to be good role models for our students.
Chaperones are to refrain from using foul language and
from smoking in front of our students. A person who
has been convicted of, or has pled guilty to, or has
entered a plea of nolo condendere (no contest) to a
charge involving moral turpitude, is not eligible to
chaperone band functions
- Chaperones
will not drink alcoholic beverages or be under the influence
of any substance (including prescription medication)
at any time while involved with a band trip or function
- Chaperones
will not share bus seats with students. An exception
is that the chaperones may share a seat with their own
child.
- Chaperones
will not have physical contact with any student except
when rendering first aid.
- Chaperones,
who display inappropriate behavior, will be dismissed
and prohibited from chaperoning in the future.
- Each
chaperone is required that he or she has read our Chaperone
Guidelines and will follow these guidelines.

whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and
