Chaperones can enhance the success of a group tour and the amount of learning that can take place by showing active interest in the works of art while supervising student behavior. When students see adults interested and engaged, they are more likely to respond themselves. We also ask chaperones to observe the following guidelines:

• Please stay with your assigned group at all times, including during and after the tour. All students in grades Pre-K through 12 must remain with their assigned chaperone at all times.
• During the tour, please stay actively engaged and refrain from side conversations, as they may distract the students.
• Please silence your cell phone during your visit. 
• It is the responsibility of each chaperone to review the visit guidelines above, to communicate the rules to his or her group, and to enforce the rules while at Albright-Knox Northland. If student behavior is found to be disruptive, the Albright-Knox reserves the right to ask the group to sit out the rest of the tour.
• Chaperones are not permitted to bring additional children on guided school tours. This includes the use of strollers and front baby carriers.

• Please enter through the Albright-Knox Northland main entrance, where you will be greeted by a member of our staff. We suggest arriving 5–10 minutes before your tour start time.
• All Pre-K–12 groups are required to have a minimum of one chaperone.
• Please note that tours are 45 minutes in length.

• Our guided tours are given by volunteer docents. To be mindful of their donated time, a tour will still end at its original end time in the case of a late arrival.
• We know that there are circumstances which will cause a school group to be late. If you know you will be arriving past your tour start time, please email lkranz@albrightknox.org as soon as possible. 
• Groups that arrive more than 20 minutes late might not have the chance to go on a guided tour. If this is the case, your group will be allowed to visit the space as a self-guided group.

• You may cancel up to one week prior to the date of your visit. 
• If you need to cancel your visit, please email lkranz@albrightknox.org. The sooner you contact us, the more likely it is that we can find another date for your visit.
• If a visit is cancelled due to extreme weather conditions or an emergency, please email lkranz@albrightknox.org before 9 am on your scheduled visit date. We will do our best to reschedule your visit.
