You have to commit for all the sessions. If you cannot, please do not register. If you miss sessions of an enrichment program, you will not be able to register for future programs/events that year. This is to ensure that families consider registering for the event seriously. In our enrichment/events, we have very limited spots and we would like to enforce this policy to give opportunity to students that are willing to attend all classes. Q. Can I come/join the class a few minutes late? A. A student being late disturbs the entire session. Please do not be late. Q. Are these sessions for 2 hours continuously? A.

We have assigned one enrichment coordinator at each location.(S)He will be point of contact for that site. Q. Can I pick up my child early in one class as we need to go somewhere? A. Leaving early is strongly discouraged as it disrupts the session & affects your child’s learning. Q. How do I choose my preferred day as Room parent? A. We will assign you the day depending on the registration. Q. We understand that the space is limited for these programs. What if my child is not placed in the program? A.Space is limited & the pre-registration is on first come basis. If the session is full, we will place your child on waiting list. If a spot opens up, we will inform you. Q. Can I send my friend/relative to drop off & pick up my child? How about carpooling? A. We prefer parents to drop off & pick up their child.
