Be Respectful

are prohibited and will be confiscated. Only a parent will be allowed to retrieve the device.

Chaperone Responsibilities
❏ NO alcoholic drinks are to be consumed while on this trip. (In front of students or privately in
your room.) We must set a great example for the students! If this occurs, you will be asked to
IMMEDIATELY leave the group for the duration of the trip and will be responsible for your
own transportation back to Dade County.
❏ Keep students with you at all times while on the trip. Students may change groups while on the
trip ONLY if both sets of chaperones agree to let students change and the teacher is notified.
❏ At curfew each night, help make sure students are not only in their rooms at the designated
time, but that the rooms are also in an orderly manner. (This will save us time at check-out.)
❏ Chaperones are expected to follow all itinerary items and rules.
