However, I have a child that goes to preschool for 2.5 hrs a day and gets off the bus at 12:30. Do I inform his parents that he is more than welcome to join us on the field trip but if they choose to send him to school they will need to find other arrangements for getting him off the bus or do I even fool with the field trip? I do believe they will just let him skip school that day but I don’t want us to have to leave the trip at 11:30 to make sure we are home in time to grab DCB off the bus. Your thoughts?
Personally, I would just tell the family with the preschooler that they need to find alternate care arrangements for after school that day.
Take the kiddos that are with you all day to the pumpkin patch! Have fun and don't stress about other families situations with preschool etc...
