FAQ'S AND COVID SAFETY POLICIES

Are masks required for attendees?

We will be sending updated policies to all families closer to the start of your specific program. As of January 2022, the University is still under a full mask mandate for all individuals, regardless of vaccination status. Our hope is that restrictions will lighten as we get closer to summer, but at this time, all families registering for our programs should plan for masks to be required for all attendees.

Any individuals who arrive to a program and indicate an attendee cannot wear a mask (if masks are required at the start of the program) will not be able to be permitted to attend the program. A refund will not be issued for this instance as all safety procedures have been clearly communicated in advance for programs.

May I drop my student off from the street / sidewalk near the Center?

Families should walk-in to check-in their students at our front desk. Students cannot be dropped off more than 15 minutes before program start and must be picked up within 15 minutes of the program end time. Students are not in the care of MSOE until this time window AND until they are in our facility.

How do I get to your facility?

We are located at 1444 N Water Street on the MSOE campus. A map and parking information will be sent to all families at least two weeks prior to your program start date.

Can I sit with or watch my student in your program?

During summer programs, the Center will not have available space for parents and guardians to wait for their student. Families should plan to drop off their student and return during the pick-up window.

My student is an advanced learner - should I enroll them in a higher grade level program?

Please enroll your student in the grade level program that corresponds with their current grade. All of our programs have variations and elements we can add and redact to make an activity more challenging or easier to accomodate a spectrum of learners.

My student has accomodations that need to be made - who do I contact?

Please e-mail [email protected] if your student has any physical, mental or emotional accomodations that our team should be aware of prior to the program to help us ensure your student has a great experience at MSOE!
