Bound Together Student Application 2023-24
Welcome to Bound Together!  We are very excited about the 2023-24 academic year, and look forward to welcoming your student(s). We are asking interested families to fill out an application now so that we may plan for students accordingly.

We are pleased to provide no-cost after-school tutoring, mentoring and dinner to students grades 1-8 whose families are Pontiac residents.

Please complete the following application on behalf of each student. Bound Together will contact you regarding enrollment, which is based largely on available space for applicants. Please note that we must have full contact information for parent/guardians.

If you prefer a printed application, please contact us at director@boundtogetherpontiac.org.

Please note that as of August 12 we are putting applicants on our wait list, as we are currently at capacity.  We do encourage you to complete an application, as it is not unusual for families' plans to change and openings develop!  Applicants will be reviewed in the order of their receipt.  Application may be made at any time throughout the year, subject to review for program space.  Please call us at 248-334-3827 with any questions.

Attendance and Absence Policy
ATTENDANCE:  Bound Together’s attendance policy supports three primary goals:
To build each child’s sense of community with fellow students and volunteers.
To create consistent educational relationships between students and tutors.
To give students and tutors the time they need to achieve students’ goals.

In order to create an environment in which we can support success together, we ask parent/guardians to commit to the following:
That the student(s) will attend regularly:  If  a student misses two program days, excused or unexcused, in any calendar month, enrollment will be reviewed.
That students will be on time:  Tutoring begins promptly at 4:30.  Students should be dropped off no later than 4:25 in order to facilitate that process.  If your school has a late dismissal we can work that out!
That students will come prepared to tutor: If there is homework:  they will have it with them. They will know that parent/guardian expects them to participate and follow directions, and they will arrive ready to work.  
They will be respectful of one another and of  all program volunteers.

ABSENCES:  There will always be times when students might need to miss a program day!  Here’s what we ask:
If you know that your child will be absent:  please text/call/email  before 1:30 PM on the program day so that we can adjust our tutor schedule accordingly.
If a student misses two program days without prior notification, enrollment will be reviewed. If there are concerns that are making it difficult to attend:  please discuss with the Director ASAP so that we can find a solution together!

I understand and commit to follow the attendance and absence policies for Bound Together as outlined above.
I understand that a failure to follow these policies will result in my child’s participation in Bound Together to be reviewed and possibly suspended or terminated. I may re-apply for my student.
