TYE Ground Rules and Expectations

All, please find below our TYE Ground Rules and Expectations for the 2009 Calendar Year. The following list is derived from common sense, respect for people’s time, and our experience from past years. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask us.

1. The Program is only available to high school students
2. Pre-high school students are allowed to monitor two classes
3. Class sessions meet every other Saturday until the competition phase
4. Classes run from 9 am to 1:30 pm
5. Students are expected to be present on time (we recommend that students arrive 15 minutes early to every class)
6. Students are not allowed to miss more than 2 classes
7. Parents are not allowed in class room sessions
8. The facility we are using is generously provided to us at no cost, therefore it is mandatory that everyone cleans their space before leaving. We must respect the facility (no chewing gum or sticking gum on furniture, no littering, students are allowed to use the classroom and general cafeteria area, students are not allowed in other floors)
9. Every student needs to have a notebook and writing instruments for class
10. The winners of the $10K Competition in 2009 are not allowed to compete in future years. They are allowed to mentor and learn, however.
