IMPORTANT PROGRAM INFORMATION

Your child’s success depends on their attendance in the program. For that reason, we and the school district ask that students attend at least 80% of the program. This means missing no more than one day per week or not leaving earlier than 4:30 p.m. daily. Attendance in the Find My Genius afterschool enrichment program will be tracked and provided to the school district. Scholars who are absent on a regular basis may be dropped from the program. If your child will be absent, it is imperative that you let your Site Director know.

Homework: We have homework time each day and will be communicating with teachers as well.

Personal Water Bottle: Please write the child's name on the water bottle.

Toys and Electronics: We have enriching activities and games planned for each day, so please leave personal toys and electronics at home!

  • Our afterschool program starts at dismissal and ends at 6:00pm.
  • Please arrive by 5:45pm to allow time to electronically sign your child out. Children will only be dismissed to adults listed on the registration form. If you wish to add an adult at a later time, email your Site Director – all requests MUST be received in writing.
  • If you are going to check your child out before 5:45pm, you will need to call the site phone to let us know.

In the event that your scholar will require medication while in our program, please let us know which form you will need (see below)—we cannot administer medications without these forms on file in advance.
