Real World Learning 

TEAM emphasizes real world learning through community service, interdisciplinary field trips, and case study based curriculum.  Scroll down to find out more!  Digital versions of field trip forms for each trip are available in the IntraTEAM course on Schoology.

General Info For Field Trips

We'll always hand out hard copies of our forms to your student, but you can also download any TEAM form from the list above or they are also in the appropriate folder in the IntraTEAM Course on Schoology. Please take a moment to find the correct one(s), with the correct year--they are updated before each field trip.  Packs are assembled for each field trip and include the Parent Permission and Student Behavior contract for overnight trips. 

If your child takes medication, either prescription or over the counter, that needs to be administered during the day or at night while on a field trip, please return the District medication form. Please start filling this out early to allow time to get your family doctor's signature.

Field Trip Alternate Driving Plans

If you need to drive up separately from the buses of TEAM students for a field trip or leave early for some reason, please fill out the Google form here at least one week in advance.  Parents driving students other than their own must fill out this Field Trip Private Vehicle Form.

The "A" in TEAM stands for Altruism/Activism.  To match this value, TEAM typically has a Service Learning component that is implemented through an assignment in Biology Classes, which connects students to community organizations such as Grassroots Ecology and Save the Bay.

ALL Field Trip Chaperones and Fingerprinting

If you are a parent chaperone on a field trip, you need to get fingerprinted. This can be done at the UPS store in Town and Country for no charge--the District has an account there.  Here is the form to use.  Please allow a week for this to be processed before the field trip.
