YOUTHLINK Tuesday October 23rd

What to Bring:

(Indoor shoes ONLY in case of inclement weather.)

Please have each student bring a peanut-free lunch and a pencil. 

Pens and gum are not permitted. 

Note:   there is NO microwave available.

 Please have students bring a water bottle as there are no water fountains available in the Centre. 

Schools may follow their own cell phone policy while at the Centre; however we ask that if cell phones are present, they be placed on silent and out of site while programming is being delivered. 

Pictures are allowed to be taken with cameras or cell phone cameras.

Student Supervision is the Responsibility of volunteers and teachers: 


Recommended ratio is 1 adult : 10 students. Classes must have a minimum of three adults present with each class. 

We expect the adult supervisors to take an active part in the program by helping the students stay focused on the program but not doing the activities for the students or leading or directing 
discussions. 

In addition, teachers and parents will be solely responsible for supervising students during a half-hour lunch break.

Teachers and parents are expected to help manage 

students and be positive role models.
