All field trips and events hosted by The Centre for Learning@HOME require supervision to ensure acceptable levels of behavior and safety.

The Centre for Learning@HOME will have at least one school staff member on site at every event we host. Staff, and when necessary,

parent volunteers (who have provided police issued security clearance documents), will attend events to meet the necessary supervision

ratios set out by Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools and as listed below.

The CFL welcomes parents to participate in activities and events whenever possible. Some events require a parent supervise every

participant; other events/venues restrict parent participation. The role of the parent is included in each event description. Please see below

for an explanation of the rational.

1. P A R E N T P A R T I C I P A T I O N I S M A N D A T O R Y In this scenario, the students will require one on one assistance to complete the task or the venue has asked us to have a parent

with each child. A CFL staff member will be there to assist the event leader, check in students and parents, and obtain the

activity waiver forms.

2. P A R E N T P A R T I C I P A T I O N I S V O L U N T A R Y In this scenario, the parents are welcome to stay and participate, or release their student(s) to the care of The CFL staff and

approved volunteers. The ratio of adults to students is in accordance with Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools’ policy (below). If

the parent elects to drop their student(s) off, they must deliver the student(s) to the school staff member at the event to check

them in and sign the activity waiver. At the end of the event, the parent must collect the student(s) from the school staff member

at the specified time and ensure the staff member knows the parent has arrived to pick up the student(s). Please do not drop

your student off at the door or plan to pick them up outside.

3. P A R E N T P A R T I C I P A T I O N I S R E S T R I C T E D O R N O T A L L O W E D In this scenario, the host venue has asked that parents not participate either due to the nature of the event (i.e. swim lessons) or

because of limited space. The Centre for Learning@HOME will provide supervision according to the supervision standard set by

Christ the Redeemer Catholic Schools. Parents may be able to watch from the sidelines (like in swim lessons) or drop the

student(s) off and pick them up at the end of the program. When dropping off your student(s), please deliver the student(s) to

the school staff member at the event to check them in and sign the activity waiver. At the end of the event, the parent must

collect the student(s) from the school staff member at the specified time and ensure the staff member knows you have arrived to

pick up the student(s). Please do not drop your student off at the door or plan to pick them up outside.

If arrangements are made for someone other than the parent/guardian to pick up a student, please notify The CFL staff member, in writing,

prior to the start of the event.

Please note, some activities replicate a classroom setting (example: teacher led co-curricular classes) and in such situations, the Field Trip

Supervision Ratios will not apply. Ratios similar to a traditional classroom will apply.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding supervision, please contact The Centre for Learning@HOME Program Enhancement

Coordinator for your area.
