Forms are updated yearly and sent to campuses in August.
Teacher/department complete the field trip form at least two weeks prior to the trip.
The form must be approved by an administrator.
Form faxed to EMS ISD Transportation. (A faxed copy will show the date and time)
Transportation has one point of contact for each school, which is the campus/department secretary.
Transportation will approve and return a copy of the form in the interoffice mail to the campus/department secretary immediately with notes regarding the trip.
Secretary keeps a copy of the form and places a copy in the teacher's box.
EMS ISD Transportation is able to handle up to nine field trips during the school day between 9 a.m. - 2:15 p.m.
When the 9th field trip form is received for one day, that day will become a blackout day and campuses will be notified by email with an updated blackout calendar attached.
Field trips are approved on a first come, first serve basis.
** If a trip is for an elementary camp event, students may eat lunch on the bus or eat lunch early.
