Chaperone Expectations

Chaperone Expectations

  • Arrive at the museum with or before students.
  • Docents and/or staff will greet the group at the main entrance of the museum. Please help manage the group while school information is verified with museum security.
  • Know who your group members are (usually around 10 students per adult chaperone) ahead of time, but assist with dividing students into groups if changes need to be made.
  • Since docents and/or staff will lead the group into the museum and galleries, we ask that chaperones follow at the end of the line to monitor students’ behavior.
  • Correct poor student behavior as needed (e.g., talking out of turn, making inappropriate comments, not following the group, etc.).
  • In the event it is necessary, remove a student from the group if poor behavior continues and cannot be corrected.
  • Allow students to answer questions.
  • Accompany any student who requires personal or medical assistance.
  • Remain behind the group while moving between galleries in the museum.
  • Refrain from talking to other adults and/or on cell phones during the tour.
  • Accompany students to their final destination once the tour has ended.
