In order for all students and campers to have a safe and enjoyable time, participants must demonstrate good behaviours. Parents must review the following behaviour expectations and consequences with their child prior to the start of any STEM For Kids program.

I agree that I understand the behavior, expectations and consequences and that I have reviewed these with my child:

- Participant must take responsibility for his/her actions and abide by program rules and policies.
- Participant must treat the counselors, instructors and fellow program participants with respect, kindness, and honesty.
- Participant must listen attentively to counselors and instructors.
- Participant must show support and compassion for other participants by listening, encouraging and helping them during program activities.
- Participant should be fair when playing games; show good sportsmanship.
- Participant should ask counselors or instructors for help if he/she feels unable to meet these expectations.
- Participant must always try his/her best and have fun in ways that are safe for them and others.
- Except when excused by the program instructor or counselor, all participants are expected to remain at their designated area.

Should a negative behaviour issue arise, STEM For Kids will apply the following guidelines:

- First Occurrence: A quiet, verbal reprimand
- Second Occurrence: Verbal warning to participant and a phone call to parent or guardian
- Third Occurrence: Parent or guardian will be notified in writing via email.

If the inappropriate behaviour continues beyond the written warning, the participant will be asked to leave for the remainder of the program with no refund of already collected fees.

If the offense is severe, the participant will be immediately dismissed from the current program and any other programs he or she is registered to attend, bypassing all steps above, and NO REFUND will be given. The actions taken will be at the discretion of the STEM For Kids’ Program Director.

There will be no refunds if a program participant is temporarily or permanently suspended or dismissed from a program due to failure to follow the code of conduct.
