Student Expectations
We are in a highly diverse neighborhood, we recognize all the backgrounds we serve do not speak English. Although we wish we had staff whom spoke all the languages of our community, we currently only speak English and Spanish. For the safety of the children and to avoid miscommunication, we cannot accept students who do not understand and speak English or Spanish.

1. Be present during all hours of programming.
   No cellphones will be allowed, students would have slept well to be able to interact with their peers and staff.
2. Treat themselves, their peers, and staff with respect.
   Listening to staff at all times will prevent accidents from happening and will prevent disciplinary action, including but not limited to loss of Friday field trips, or removal from the program. Being respectful of peers, including of their culture, name, personality, and belongings.
3. Attend 3 of the 4 days of programming in order to be eligible to attend the field trip.
   We have exciting games, activities, and outings planned for Fridays. Field Trips are a privilege, a luxury, and take lots of planning ahead of time for students because we want them to have fun. Academics, enrichment, and clubs are just as important, therefore, only those students who attend 3 of the 4 days will be able to enjoy the field trips.
4. Follow all rules and expectations at all times.
   One week or an entire summer goes by quickly. We want to serve all the students whom want to enjoy themselves, explore, play, learn, and discover. We expect our rules presented to students to be followed. Students will receive three warnings on a given day and will sit out from clubs, instead they will help our community by helping plan activities or do extra packets of academic work. After three days in one week they will not be allowed back into the program the rest of the week.
5. Students will have fun for rewards.
   At the end of the summer we will have special rewards for those who best behaved, for those with perfect attendance, perhaps for those whom were exemplary or improved in understanding for a specific area of our program. Maybe for those students who discovered they like painting and did not know it! We want to celebrate students who were able to have fun, while following all expectations previously mentioned!
