  For all other programs, assume you are registered and plan to attend the first session unless the college notifies you that a program has been cancelled.

• All classes are staffed with a teacher and a teaching assistant. The assistant escorts students from one location to the next.

• Summer program participants should be dressed in comfortable play clothes and athletic shoes and socks-no sandals please. Also send a backpack and sweatshirt labeled with your child’s name if the participant will be attending a course in our air-conditioned classrooms. Please send your child in a raincoat or poncho if it is raining.

• Each session begins at 9:00AM. Drop off and pick-up are at Edgewood Hall Apprenticeship and Training Center. See campus map.
