Commitments
Active Participation with the class is a must. Lack of participation in class activities, distracting or disruptive behavior may lead to students enrollment in the class being revoked.
The Golden Rule is the rule. All participants are asked to treat themselves, their peers, and volunteer teachers and aides with respect and kindness. Mistreatment of others will result in removal from the class.
Drop Off
K-5 classes are NOT drop off.
6-12 classes does allow drop off.
For non drop off classes we ask that you do remain on the campus during the class hours and enjoy the free WiFi, and work or lounge in our stations for parents. Drop off class parents are still welcome to stay if they prefer.
