It’s not rocket science! Before leaving on a trip, count the students twice. When you load the bus to return to school count them again. If your numbers don’t match you don’t leave until everyone is accounted for.
Counting the children is not enough. Call the roll and look each child in the face when they answer. It is too easy for a child to accidentally be counted twice, especially children this age. They have a difficult time standing still in one place.

So they no longer take roll as the kids get on the bus before they leave the fieldtrip destination?
