What do I need to bring on the day of our scheduled field trip?
On the day of your scheduled program, please bring a copy of your confirmation form, as well as the date and number of the check used to pay for your program. When you arrive, you will be asked to provide the number of students and chaperones attending the program. If the number exceeds what was originally confirmed, payment for additional students and/or chaperones will be required when you check in.

Are there separate eating accommodations available for students who need special lunch areas due to allergies?
CHEC is happy to offer eating accommodations for your convenience. We do sanitize our eating areas. However, we cannot guarantee this sanitation will remove all particles which some students may have allergic reactions to. If additional accommodations are needed for students, we will handle those on an individual basis.

Can I register to see more than one program on a given day?
CHEC will make every attempt to accommodate registering your group for more than one program on a given day. A separate confirmation form and payment will be required for each program. Please consider your students' developmental stages and attention spans when considering more than one program a day.

Am I responsible for behavior and discipline throughout my time at CHEC?
Our educators use a variety of techniques for maintaining control of larger groups. However, the visiting teacher is ultimately responsible for redirecting any inappropriate behavior by individual students.
