Helpful Information for Parents

Welcome CLC Parents

Before your K-12 learner begins working with a CSU tutor, please ensure that:

1. You have completed a Family Enrollment Form for each child you wish to enroll.

2. You have selected the specific tutoring section(s) you would like your child to participate in.

3. You have viewed the brief Parent Orientation Video.

Attendance and Participation Policies

Our center is constructed to promote a mutually beneficial and cooperative learning experience for K-12 learners and preservice educators within the Levin College of Public Affairs and Education at CSU. In order for everyone to maximally benefit from this arrangement, consistent attendance is necessary. In order for our tutors to fulfill their course requirements, they must engage in a certain number of instructional hours and activities. In the event that your child's tutor is absent, he or she will be able to work with the tutor's class partner, who will serve as a substitute. The partner arrangement helps to ensure that the learners engage with the same two tutors throughout the semester. Tutors should have no more than two absences. Similarly, we ask that families commit to no more than two absence per semester and minimize lateness when possible. Please contact the CLC as soon as possible in the event of an absence or lateness. We appreciate your attention to this important policy.
