How are chaperones picked?
At the August Keys Trip meeting we ask parents to sign up if they are interested in being a chaperone for the Keys Trip. If we never hear from you again or get a chance to know you after the August meeting then the likelihood that you will be selected as a parent chaperone is slim. We are understandably cautious. The Keys Trip requires a certain type of adult personality — easy going, willing to go the extra mile, likes kids, not afraid to be a disciplinarian, good sense of humor, etc. We’d like to get to know you before we decide. Also, keep in mind that having one or two or three or even more older children go through the 7HAG program does not guarantee you a “slot” as a chaperone. So, volunteer to help out on other field trips and fund-raising efforts. Join in and get to know your child’s teachers. If you miss the August sign-up, send Mr. Clauset an email expressing your interest. Follow this up occasionally to let us know you’re still interested. We generally pick our doctor first
