Chaperones

Warwick Neck Elementary parents and guardians are reminded that there are a lot of year-end opportunities to take part in your child's day and year at school!

Some events are hosted by the school, or they are hosted by the PTA. As a result, some initiatives may have certain requirements that have their roots in ensuring safety, equity, and organization (among many things). Read on and learn more below...

Field Day -- Fri., June 6 (Rain Date: Mon., June 9):

Field Trips -- Dates vary by class:

-- Since these are school-hosted events, chaperones or volunteers do NOT need to be PTA members.

-- Chaperone needs are assessed and communicated by the grade-level team. If you are interested in chaperoning and unsure if chaperones are necessary, you may inquire with your child's teacher using our online directory here (but please know that there may not be a need for that particular day/trip).

-- Trip dates for each class are provided on the online school events calendar, but for security reasons the locations are publicly withheld and permission slips are not publicly posted.

-- If you are unsure of when your child's trip date is, or if you are in need of a permission slip for your child to participate, please e-mail their teacher using our online directory here.
