Behavior in the Park
You have worked very hard to have this opportunity do not spoil it with inappropriate behavior in the park. The chaperones have been instructed to report any bad behavior to your music teachers. If a student becomes a problem, his/her parent/guardian will be called to pick that student up from the park. Remember you are representing Klinger and the community. Listed below are some guidelines to follow while in the park.
-Stay with your chaperone at all times.
-Groups may travel together but, at no time should a student switch groups.
-Inappropriate or vulgar language will not be tolerated at ANY time.
-NO student may go off alone or leave the park at anytime without their chaperone.
-Follow all rules/regulations of Six Flags at ALL times.
-Be polite. Use good manners. “Please” and “Thank You” go a long way.
-All students must ride the bus to and from Six Flags.
First Aid Station
If immediate first aid is needed, ask any Park employee for assistance. If you get split up from your group and cannot find your group, report to the first aid station and they will contact Mrs. Tyson/Ms. Cupo or Mr. Goppold.
All chaperones will have phone numbers for the First Aid station and music teachers in case of an emergency.
Leaving/Staying Permission Slip
We understand that some students may have a need to leave the trip early or would like to stay late with a parent/guardian. If that need should arise, the parent/guardian of the student would need to fill out this permission form BEFORE the group leaves Klinger Friday morning.
