Staff Bus Reservations - Field Trips

             

 

FIELD TRIP!!!!  Do any other two words mean as much to your students as the opportunity to get on a school bus and go somewhere besides the classroom?  Little do they know about the educational opportunity that a field trip provides them in addition to what they learn in your classroom.  Below, you will find the information that will help you make a bus reservation and how to precalculate your estimated bus charges. 

 

First, decide WHERE you think you might want to go and approximately what dates.  Then, feel free to email the transportation department at mgriffi@summit-academy.com or call Mark Griffin at the high school (734/955-1730) to check on bus availability.   Please note, that if your field trip times are out of the 8:15 to 2:15 time span that are normal for Summit Academy buses to do a field trip, the trip may still be able to happen, but on a third party bus (Trinity, etc.)  If you need to make reservations with your destination, this would be the time to do that as well, so that you can let us know what specific date you need.  Lastly, once a date is agreed upon,  you can find a bus reservation form here, then please go to Mapquest or Google Maps and make a map of directions for the driver of the bus.  Also, PLEASE be sure to have your bus reservation form signed by an administrator of your building, in that it confirms that the trip is approved and allows the transportation department to register your order.  These documents can both be submitted via fax or interoffice mail and you will receive a confirmation email of your order number.  If you don't receive this confirmation email within a few days, please don't hesitate to verify that your paperwork was received by the transportation office.
