As part of the Upward Bound Program and its curriculum, there will be advising services available to my child.
Personal advising can take the form of individual/group meetings, presentations, guest speakers, field trips, educational films/videos, or interactive activities, which may require expression of feelings and sharing opinions.
I understand that as parent/guardian:
1. My child’s high school or middle school has my permission to release to the Fresno City College Upward Bound Program relevant and applicable information concerning my child (transcripts, attendance reports, etc).
2. Fresno City College is mandated to report CHILD ABUSE to the authorities.
3. My child has my permission to participate in field trips planned for and supervised by the Fresno City College Upward Bound Program. The program, the college, and the employees of Upward Bound are released by me from claims against them arising from injuries which might occur in route to/at the destination.
4. I agree to provide the Fresno City College Upward Bound program with a physical copy of my child’s social security card for matters pertaining to program eligibility, stipends, and internships, when needed.
5. Any medication taken during field trips, over night stays, and the summer program must be check in with Upward Bound staff with all instructions fully explained and signed by parents. NO medication can be given without written or verbal permission from the parent
