Teachers and chaperones are responsible for their groups’ behavior throughout the entire visit. Chaperones are expected to stay with the students at all times. Please provide at least one chaperone for every 10 students. The docent, whose role is educating the students about the exhibitions and galleries, relies on teacher and chaperone supervision and discipline for a successful and productive visit. Teachers and chaperones are also responsible for dividing up their students equally into groups prior to arrival. Thank you for your cooperation!

To make your Museum experience as enjoyable as possible, please share this with your chaperones:

• Please ask your students to wear nametags; it is helpful if docents can address students by name to make the visit more personal.
• One adult chaperone for every ten students is required.
