Middle school students, as well as those participating in the Spanish-speaking sessions, attend two consecutive school days from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. High school students attend three consecutive school days from 8:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m.

Requirements for successful completion

High School students must attend all three days of the student program (middle school students and those participating in the Spanish-speaking sessions must attend the full 2 days), and they and their parents/guardians must attend the follow-up Booster session, which is held approximately 6-8 weeks later.
Parents/guardians must attend a 3-hour parent/guardian program, held from 6:30-9:30 p.m. on the last day of the student program (Day 3 for HS; Day 2 for MS/Spanish-speaking sessions), as well as the follow-up Booster session. Information about the Booster session time will be confirmed at the parent program.
No students or other children are permitted to attend the parent/guardian program.
High School students need to arrive between 8:15 and 8:25 a.m. and be prepared to start the session on time at 8:30 a.m. Middle school students and those attending the Spanish-speaking sessions need to arrive between 7:45 and 7:55 a.m. and be prepared to start the session on time at 8:00 a.m.
Parents also must arrive on time for their program, and both students and parents should plan to arrive 5 minutes before their allotted time at the Booster session.
Students and parents/guardians are responsible for their own transportation. If you cannot transport your child to the Syphax Education Center or otherwise arrange transportation for your child, please advise your referral source or your school’s Assistant Principal.
Students are required to bring their own lunch. Snacks and water will be provided.
Students are expected to pay attention and participate fully at all times. This includes completing all in-class written assignments and activities as directed, as well as staying awake during the entire session.
Students must not be under the influence or in possession of any substances or paraphernalia during any part of the program.
Students and parents/guardians must be respectful of the program instructors, guest speakers, and other participants at all times. Anyone showing disruptive behavior will be subject to dismissal from the program, resulting in the student’s unsuccessful completion.

A student dismissed for disciplinary reasons will need to be picked up by a parent/guardian or will be returned to his/her school by Red Top Cab. Additionally, the student may be subject to school consequences (including suspension) and/or court involvement.
Students will complete a Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory (SASSI).
