field trip

So I'm a seventh grader, going into eighth very shortly, and I have my music field trip today. I don't know if this is the right category to put this under, but I'm missing ALL of school today for the trip. We're leaving at 8 am and coming back at 8 pm. I'm a little nervous because we're so close to the end of the school year and I missed so much time this year(55 days). Teachers aren't doing regular classes today but some of my teachers are making us do the work we missed while we were on the trip as homework. We're going to six flags, so that's exciting. I'm also nervous because I've never been to six flags! It is currently 2:31am and I have school at 7:55 am(bus is 7:25), but yeah. I'm nervous because I have to skadadle to homeroom, go straight to the orchestra room, practice for the music clinician, and then eat our lunch so we can actually GO to six flags. And I have my 504 plan that whenever I'm not in the building or going to my "off the floors" (WL/RA/PE/orchestra) there has to be a staff with me at ALL times. So my shaporne is only mine I believe and nobody else's because he only got added to the list of staff there until I was there. His direction was I could do what I wanted at the freaking park but he had to keep eyes on me. I have a past with self-harming, running away, and using my phone at inappropriate times, so my father just wants to keep me safe with that as my 504 plan. It's annoying as hell and I hate it. My parents said it'll change for eighth grade though.

Six Flags is pretty exciting! I hope you have fun there even though you have a chaperone. It sounds like the chaperone is pretty relaxed so as long as you are safe he shouldn’t bother you too much.

It’s fair that the teachers are having you do missed work as homework so you don’t fall behind. Maybe you can stay after school to get help with the work you might not understand so you don’t fall behind, or ask for an extension so it’s not all due back at once.

With my school, they techincally exempted it all, but because the unit we're ACTUALLY doing is triggering and there's two weeks left to school and Mrs. A doesn't have another lesson plan yet, she's having me do missing work so I am still DOING something in the classroom instead of shutting down.

The field trip sounds fun! Hope you had a good time.

It's also a good idea that your school is doing a catch up lesson for those that have missed out.
