Program Orientation
You may visit the program for an individual orientation by appointment. An open house will
be scheduled prior to the summer program and again in the fall. During the open house, staff
will be available to answer questions regarding procedures, schedules, and needs of individual
children.
Parents/caregivers are encouraged to become a part of the program. Your involvement will help
insure a quality program for your children. Some ways you can become involved in your child’s
out of school time experiences are:
• sharing a talent or special skill with program participants
• reading parent communications available through site files and newsletters
• consulting periodically with the staff on your child’s progress
• meeting with or contacting the site manager to provide input for the program or site
• sharing art materials and any other recycled materials
• donating gently used equipment, toys, books or games
• join the Community Ed Out of School Time Parent Advisory Council
