District Authorized Student Travel Behavior Expectations

 

This document sets out behavior expectations for students engaging in student travel, as well as potential consequences for violation of those expectations.

At a minimum, all students participating in a student travel program shall:

1.       Participate in and be on time for all required activities.

2.       Follow all usual school rules and expectations, the Littleton Public Schools (LPS) Code of Conduct, and the laws of the United States and Colorado. In addition, if traveling abroad, students shall observe and respect the laws and customs of the host country provided that the students shall adhere to school rules and expectations, including the LPS Student Code of Conduct, at all times.

3.       Not purchase, consume, use, possess, or exchange any alcoholic beverages, drugs, or tobacco products.

4.       Demonstrate, through general behavior, language, and noise level, common courtesy towards others at all times.

5.       Follow directions from a sponsor/chaperon. Failure to follow such directions will be considered insubordination and cause for consequences.

6.       Meet all curfews established by sponsors/chaperons, or by trip supervisors.

7.       Keep sponsors/chaperons informed of their activities and whereabouts at all times, and not leave the lodging or activity site without prior approval of a sponsor/chaperon.

8.       Not deface or damage any property, furnishings, or public or personal belongings. Violation of this expectation will result in the student(s) involved paying for such damage.

9.       Dress appropriately for each activity, including any dress as required by the sponsor/chaperon.

10.      Not be present at any time in the sleeping room(s) of members of the opposite sex, unless approved by the sponsor(s), with the door wide open at all times, and/or a sponsor is present in the room.

11.      Not operate a motorized vehicle of any kind, unless specifically authorized to do so by a sponsor.

Because it is impossible to anticipate all possible student behaviors that might occur during a student travel program, Littleton Public Schools reserves the right to determine if any student behavior, whether mentioned above, in an addendum, or not, is inappropriate and should result in disciplinary action. Such action includes, but is not limited to, denial of participation in activities, removal of privileges, and return home at parent expense.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES

I/we acknowledge having read and agree to abide by the Student Travel Behavior Expectations indicated above, and by any attached addendum to this document. In the event of repeated violations or a serious violation of the established rules by the Student, I/we will accept a collect telephone call concerning the Student’s actions and behavior, and I/we further understand, agree, and consent to the Student being returned home immediately by public transportation at my/our expense.
