Our highest priority on band trips is the safety and health of our students, staff and volunteers. This includes releasing students outside of the standard drop-off/ pick-up procedures. While some parents and guardians may consider this level of safety extreme; please remember that there are many different family situations and circumstances that make this process necessary.
Students will travel to and from performances with the band. If a student needs to be transported to or from a performance, prior notification and approval from Mr. Arnott must be obtained.
All alternative transportation notes must be sent to “studentsignout@chargerbandboosters.com” at least one day prior to the date of the specific event. If there are several dates where the same procedure will take place, the parent/ guardian can send one note to cover all dates. Please use this form or send an email with the same information.
The student is responsible for ensuring equipment and uniform makes it to performance or is properly stored in the band hall after event.

General Procedures
- Students are only released to a parent/guardian or identified adult designee.
- Students must be signed out through the student’s bus captain or a chaperone chair after the activity or when identified in the original note. Students who leave without officially signing out will face disciplinary actions as set forth by the district and the band directors.
- The parent/guardian or identified adult designee will be asked to provide a state-issued ID when checking out the student. Please ensure proper identification is on-hand as to not delay or deny check out. The parent/guardian or identified adult designee signature will be required during check-out.
- In the case where plans have changed the day of the event and the parent/guardian wishes to check out the student, the parent/guardian must obtain a permission slip from the bus captain or chaperone chair, get sign-off from Mr. Arnott and then provide the completed form to bus captain or chaperone chair to proceed with checking out the student.
- When a parent/guardian wishes the student to be released to someone else, a note MUST be sent to the above email prior to the event stating such and identifying the responsible party. Without the proper documentation and authorization, students will not be released to someone other than a parent.
- Students will not be released to boyfriends, girlfriends, and other friends even if they are 18 years of age.
