Academic Challenge Misc. Info:
- Participants should have consistent attendance.
- We ask students to be respectful during meetings and exude positive behavior in class. The parent volunteers are not hosting classes as a form of babysitting.
- The schedule is subject to change. The Chairs will email you if there is a change.
- Parents must volunteer 2 hours per challenge you are registered for ( except if you have 2+ students attending the same challenge – 2 hours will suffice)
- Some academic challenges will have a fee associated with the program. For example, if your child goes to regionals, the student is expected to handle their own expenses.
- Our academic challenges are a parent led program. Be kind when asking about the Chair(s) about the challenge.
