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.
