CLASS INFORMATION & EXPECTATIONS What to Expect | Summer Enrichment Academy is designed to offer a variety of classes for your student to provide an enriching educational experience during the summer. This means that no homework, tests, grades, or school credit will be given. On occasion, an instructor will require a take home project or additional outside research for a specific project they are working on in class. Instructors will communicate class-specific curriculum and can be reached via email with questions during the course of the program.

Attendance | Students are encouraged to arrive on-time and attend all classes. IPSF understands that other activities arise during summer and students may be absent. Please report any absences directly to your school. For any extended vacations or absences, please include this information in the “critical notes” section when registering. Students will not be dropped from their classes for absences.

Behavior Expectations | In order to maintain a safe, fun, and enriching environment, all students, parents, guardians, instructors, and administrators are expected to behave in a respectful manner that promotes the safety and well-being of themselves and others.

Inappropriate behavior includes, but is not limited to: foul language, hurting, teasing, threatening, tattling, name-calling, discussing mature subject matter, negative attitude, back talking to an instructor, not cooperating or participating, not listening or following directions, fighting, littering, stealing, and being in possession of weapons, alcohol, and/or drugs. In cases when behavior expectations are not followed, the person (or persons) may be removed from the program and will not be entitled to a class refund of any kind.

Health-Related Information | If your student requires medication or has any medical conditions that IPSF staff need to be aware of, please note this information in the “critical notes” section of your student’s profile. You will be contacted prior to the start of the program if any documentation or further information is needed.

What to Bring | Class prices include all materials but on occasion, students may be asked to bring special items from home for a particular performance or project. You will be notified if any of these items are needed. Students should bring water and a peanut-free snack for their snack break each day.
