Delano Community Education

Three years to Kindergarten with parent/caregiver attending

For all field trips, you must register all family members attending. There is no provision for strollers or car seats on school buses so they will not be allowed on the bus. Fees are based on the individual field trip site charges per person attending and bus transportation fees.

Please note: There will be a minimum number of required registrations before the field trip will be able to happen. There will also be a maximum capacity based on the site regulations or the bus capacity maximum.

No refunds will be given to any participants that miss the bus, you are welcome to drive yourself and meet us there.
