Field Trips/Extra Curricular Activities

An HISD permission form must be signed by a parent or guardian and returned to school in order for a student to participate in any activity that requires him/her to leave campus during school hours.  A handwritten note cannot be accepted.  For safety reasons, a parent or guardian may be asked to accompany a student on a field trip.  Field Trip money will only be refunded under extenuating circumstances. Students must have satisfactory conduct to participate. Check the Grade Level section for a copy of the permission slip if you need another one.

Who May Pick Up a Student During the School Day

Only those persons designated by the parent or guardian may take a child from the school premises during the school day.  The name of every person who will be allowed to pick up a student must be on the white registration card that is filled out at the beginning of each year.  If several people are allowed to pick up a child, please write the full name of each one on a separate piece of paper and attach it securely to the white card. Identification will be requested of any person who comes to the office to pick up a student.
