Family Programming
Daily Programming
- The FRC provides snacks and activities on a daily basis to support the needs and development of the children we supervise. The FRC strives to ensure that its snack and activities accommodate for multiple dietary needs, restrictions, and ability.
Family Month
- Family Month is a program series for our family residents and their children during the month of October. Past programs we have organized include: a Halloween- movie night, a family friendly haunted house, and picking pumpkins at a pumpkin patch.
Family Week
- Family Week takes place during the child’s Spring Vacation at District 7. The FRC will be closed for regular business hours during this time, but we will supplement evening activities for our student parents and their children. Past programs we have organized for this include a bowling night, Grocery Bingo, and others.
