PARENTS As you know the programs success is highly due to your active participation. Please let us know when you can volunteer to help, we need at least one adult present at each meeting for your child’s team, two adults for larger teams is wonderful.

If students are having difficulty focusing, we will give them two verbal warnings and then contact you. We can not let a students behavior negatively impact the teams work.
