DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS APRIL 30 AT 11:59PM

DATES: M-F June 24 - August 2, 2024
TIMES: Monday through Thursday 8:00am - 3:00pm; varies on Fridays 

THEME: We all have a story to tell, whether your family migrated here, or your family has been here for generations. Join Upward Bound Legacy Scholars for our 6-week summer program to share your story and learn the interrelatedness of your story with others, and how we are all connected as human beings in this world through intergenerational learning. There will be academic courses Monday through Thursday (math, lab science, English, and Spanish) alongside elective courses and a capstone class, and Fridays we will have weekly field trips.

A full, finalized schedule will be sent several weeks prior to the start of the summer program. Please contact Claudia at (253) 888 2078 or ckrumpach@pierce.ctc.edu if you have any questions!

The rules and regulations below are to be followed to ensure everyone has a safe and fun experience during the program and on our field trips. During orientation on June 24th, we will also be collectively creating community guidelines for one another. Please read the rules below carefully. 

• Drugs, alcohol, vapes, and e-cigarettes are absolutely prohibited. Students that are found with or using any of these items will be sent home and face disciplinary action. Consumption/possession of these items is also prohibited and will result in students being sent home at the parent/guardian's expense.  
• Students with prescription medicine must notify Pierce Upward Bound staff prior to departure.  
• Students are required to stay with the group at all times.  
• Students will be representing Clover Park High School and Pierce College on campus and at field trips. We expect our students to behave in a mature and responsible manner.
• Students are expected to maximize this opportunity by fully participating in activities, asking questions and engaging.

Dress Code to Make a Good Impression 
Please adhere to CPHS school dress code and remember, we want to present ourselves in the best possible manner!

Anyone that violates the community rules and regulations will be removed from the summer program and must return home at the parent/guardian's expense. They will also risk no longer being able to attend field trips for the remainder of the year and potentially undergoing a re-engagement assessment prior to joining us on field trips next year.
