Field Trips

Activities will always be chaperoned and supervised by authorized adults. These may include: KGS administrators, parent volunteers, and/or leadership staff.



All social interactions are guided by Christian values; as part of integrating God’s truths in all school-related practices. Emphasis is placed on a wholesome environment for all students. Unwholesome and ungodly attitudes, words, or ideas will not be tolerated. 



Field trips can bring much enjoyment and are educational. It is our desire to plan and promote field trips and activities that will enhance your homeschooling efforts.

Field Trip Policies

Please observe the following so that all may have an enjoyable time:
 

1. BE ON TIME

Out of consideration for others, please be on time. We allow enough time for slight delays only. We will begin the field trip at the designated time.

2. CHECK-IN

When you arrive at the designated area, please check-in with the field trip coordinator or school administrator in charge.

3. CANCELLATIONS

If you have signed up for a field trip and cannot attend, please call the field trip coordinator ahead of time. If you have paid for the field trip, please be aware that refunds are NOT available, no exceptions.

4. ADULTS

We request that at least one parent attend with their student. If for some reason you cannot attend with your student, please let the field trip coordinator know who will be taking them. It will be your responsibility to have a Waiver of Liability & Medical Release Form (see link bellow) submitted with the attending adult for your student. Failure to do this could seriously endanger the life of your student in the event of an emergency. Please observe this procedure carefully.

5. GUESTS

KGS does NOT permit non-enrolled families to attend field trips or KGS related events, unless otherwise stated. One of the primary benefits of being enrolled is the ability to participate in the activities. However, immediate family members and grandparents are welcome to attend. Out-of-town visitors in your home may be allowed to attend with PRIOR permission, depending on the nature and limitations of the trip. 


Conduct at Events

It is important to remember that our conduct and the conduct of our children may be the only “glimpse” of Christianity that those around us see. Therefore, it is imperative that we are loving, courteous and respectful of others. 

It is our duty as parents to train our children to be responsible. We must also remember that our own example will prove to be the best teaching method our children will learn from. We want to be a good witness for our Lord at all times, so we must watch our manners and our words.



1. In the event that someone does misbehave, they will be asked to leave the event and not return until proper apologies have been made. A second offense will be taken to the Administrative Team for action. This may result in being barred from further activities.

2. Make sure students are respectful of people and property at all activities and field trip sites.



3. Please help students learn to be attentive to the field trip coordinator/leader. If it is a particularly bad day for you or your children and they cannot be courteous to the speaker and others around them, please quietly dismiss yourself from the event. Sticking it out may not be beneficial for you, your child, or others. 

4. On most field trips babies, toddlers, and preschoolers are welcome. But some events may ask us not to bring small children because of insurance policies they have or other valid reasons. You will be notified if this is the case. If you do have a little one who is distracting the group or the guide, we ask that you take them away from the area.     



5. Have an attitude of compassion for the differences, needs or disabilities of others. (Parents, teach children to be loving to people who are different from themselves. Matthew 7:12; James 2:1-9; Galatians 5:22-23)

6. Act and speak in a manner worthy of a Citizen of Heaven. Unkind remarks, profanity, coarse jokes, conversation involving occult or sexual situations or other language unbecoming of a Christian is unacceptable at school functions. (I Thessalonians 2:12; Ephesians 4:1; 5:4)

7. Even though you may not have a problem with certain behavior or actions within your family, if you know something may be offensive to someone else, don’t do it. Respect the property and landscape of those we are visiting. Parents, teach children about refraining from some things in a group setting that may be allowed at home. In this category we would include things as simple as climbing trees or fences on someone else’s property as well as language or joking that may offend. (I Corinthians 8:7-13, Philippians 2:3-4, and Romans 12:17b)



8. Please show respect and patience with the field trip coordinators. Rude or belligerent parents are subject to the same disciplinary action described above in #1.
