Title I Schools: Chaperones and All Adults Policy

Definition of Chaperones: Parents, caregivers, and all non-educator adults accompanying the field trip.

Definition of Educator: Teachers, administrators and school staff accompanying the student group. Educators do not count toward the total number of chaperones and adults.

Adult/Student Ratio: Student groups are asked to bring a minimum of one adult for every 10 students. Maximum number of chaperones differs by field trip option.

Payment for Chaperones: Adults cannot pay admission on-site; they must be added to the reservation. All chaperones, including parents and any additional adults come for free with Title I funding as long as they are added to the reservation. Adults/ chaperones cannot pay on the day of the field trip. Your deadline to update chaperone numbers is one week before your field trip.

Title I Schools: Deadline, Reschedule and Cancellation Policy

Group Size Deadline

Please note the following deadline regarding your field trip:

One week in advance

Finalize your field trip numbers. The total group number must be within the capacity of your visit type. We do not adjust numbers on the day of the field trip for absences.

Reschedule and Cancellation Policy

To cancel, change or reschedule a reservation, Title I groups must cancel at least one week in advance of the date of the field trip. Reservation changes or cancellations must be done by emailing education@thealamo.org.

No-show policy: Field trip experiences are a wonderful way to share the Alamo with as many students as possible. When a group doesn’t attend their field trip, other schools are denied the opportunity of a field trip experience. Schools that no-show the day of their field trip may be ineligible to book future experiences at the Alamo.

If late, student groups may be subject to a shorter tour experience. Groups later than 30 minutes may have their experience cancelled.
