FAQ's

Do I need to remain on site with my student?

Attendees should not arrive more than 15 minutes before program start and must be picked up within 15 minutes of the program end time. Attendees should be escorted into the building for check-in to verify all paperwork and other sign-in needs are taken care of with a parent / guardian present.

Adults are welcome to remain in the STEM Center in our common areas during this program, but do not need to stay with their student. Please feel free to drop off your student and return at the end of the day.
