Welcome to COE Summer Programs! Summer is almost here, and we’re sure some of you are wondering what to expect this summer. Here’s what you can expect on the first day!
7:30 am: Morning drop-off begins.
Enter our parking lot from Metcalf Street and drive down to Zone A. Staff in orange safety vests will assist your children from the car. They should be ready to go—shoes on and bags in hand. If you plan to stay for a while, you must find alternate parking. A UH-issued pass is required to park in our lot.
The welcome packet mailed to your address contains a copy of your child’s schedule. Bring this on the first day. It will help us direct them to the correct class.
Every morning students will sit at their assigned class tables and wait for their teachers to arrive.
8:00 am: Morning Student Orientation.
The orientation is intended for students, but parents may stay and watch from the back of the room. We will share program information important to the students and go over behavior expectations.
Morning Classes:
After Orientation, students will be escorted to their classrooms. If your child arrives after their class has left the cafeteria, head to the SP office in room 136 for a late pass. Staff will escort them to class.
On the first day, students will receive their Summer Programs t-shirts and IDs.
Every day, students will have a mid-morning recess. This is a great time to use the restroom, fill their water bottles, eat snacks brought from home and enjoy a short recess.
11:45 am: Class is done!
Students will be taken back to the MPB. Departing students will sign out and be escorted to the Dole Street pick-up area (Zone B). Full-day students will remain in the Cafeteria for lunch and recess. See the handbook for the full dismissal procedures.
Lunch Time: Full-day students have 45 minutes for lunch and recess. Students who purchased a meal plan will line up outside the kitchen to pick up their lunch. AM-only students who purchased lunch, will be taken to Zone B at 12:15pm for pick-up.
11:50 am: Lunch Pick-up and Drop-off begins.
Student pick-up is at the Dole Street Zone B location. The first week is always a bit hectic, so please be patient as we learn the new names and faces and familiarize the students with our procedures. Review the pick up procedures in the Orientation video and Student Handbook.
Afternoon drop-off will follow the same procedures as Morning drop-off.
12:30 pm: Afternoon Student Orientation.
We will repeat the same Orientation from the morning for our afternoon students. It will also serve as a refresher for the morning students.
Afternoon Classes:
After Orientation, students will be escorted to their classrooms. Afternoon only students will receive their Summer Programs t-shirts and IDs. Every day, students will have a mid-afternoon recess.
3:15 pm: Class is done!
Students will be taken back to the MPB. Departing students will sign-out and be escorted to the Dole Street pick-up area (Zone B). Review the pick up procedures in the Orientation video and Student Handbook.
After-School Program:
Students enrolled in the After-School Program will participate in activities such as craft projects, outdoor games, science experiments, and more! Parents may sign out their child from the MPB Cafeteria with the afterschool teacher. Last pick-up is at 5:30 pm. Late fees will apply for pickup after 5:30pm.
We look forward to seeing you on Monday, June 8!
