Please read below for the answers to Frequently Asked Questions before reaching out to your child's teacher with any further questions:

-Can I drive my child to and from the field trip? Yes. Any parent attending the trip will need to drive their own child due to limited space on the bus. 


-Can I drive my child's friend? Only if their parent is in the car as well.

-Can I just drive my child straight to the Safari Park without coming to school at 6:30am.? No.  You and your child must check in with your teacher at school and then sign them out into your custody at school.

-Can I go if I am not picked as a chaperone? Yes, however, you will still need to pay the group rate of $15 at the park once we arrive as a whole group (the group rate will not be available until all students have arrived).

-Can siblings go? As long as they are in your care and you are not an assigned chaperone.


-Can I bring a sibling if I am a chaperone? No.


-Can I stay with my child at the Safari Park when the school leaves? Yes, as long as you meet us at the time/place of departure to sign your child over to your supervision.


-Can I/husband be a chaperone? Yes, as long as you/husband have your current Megan's Law clearance on file in the office.


-How will I know if I am a chaperone? Please complete the interest form on the back of the permission slip and your child's teacher will reach out to you. Please note, even chaperones will need to pay the group rate. 

-Do I need to ride the bus if I am a chaperone? No, you will need to drive yourself. It is expected that you are there upon our arrival at Safari Park.


-What is the cost of the field trip? The cost of the field trip for students is a $20 donation to Dollar a Day.

-What is the cost for a chaperone and non-chaperone? All adults will need to pay the group rate of $15 upon their entrance to the park. If you are not there when our group arrives, there is no guarantee you will be able to receive our group rate. 

-Do we have to pay for parking? No, but you must mention you are with ILCS (Inland Leaders Charter School) at the parking lot entrance.
