The following policies apply to CEF's SLICE of Summer enrichment program only. The SLICE of STEM program is operated through a partner organization and their cancellation, COVID-19, and scholarship policies may vary.

COVID-19 Policy: Claremont Educational Foundation's SLICE of Summer program is committed to creating as safe of an experience for your child as possible. We follow all state, county, and local COVID-19 safety guidelines to reduce exposure of COVID-19 for all students and staff. All attendees are requested to observe the same health and safety protocols as they would attending a CUSD public school including wearing a mask (if currently required), frequent hand washing, self-monitoring for signs of illness, and staying home if sick. We cannot guarantee that your child will not be exposed to COVID-19. By enrolling your child in SLICE of Summer, you agree that your child will be “attending at their own risk” and CEF/SLICE, Claremont Unified School District, school facilities being use for in-person classes, and our partners will not be liable in case of COVID-19 infection. Please see cancellation policy for refund policy. Refunds will not be issued to students who test positive for COVID-19 immediately prior to or during the session.

Cancellation Policy: Cancellations by students prior to the start of SLICE of Summer will follow this tuition refund schedule (not including registration and/or materials fees) – 28 or more days prior to session start date will be refunded 75%, 14-27 days prior to session start date will be refunded 50%, and 7-13 days prior to session start date will be refunded 25%. No refunds will be issued for cancellations less than 7 days prior to session start date. Refunds will not be issued for students who choose not to participate, miss classes due to illness (including COVID-19) or other reasons, or are not dropped-off by a parent.

Scholarships: Limited SLICE of Summer scholarships are available to Claremont Unified School District students with demonstrated financial need or special circumstances identified by school principal or guidance counselor who will benefit from the opportunities the SLICE of Summer Program provides. SLICE scholarship recipients can receive a discount of up to 80% off the tuition rate plus the registration fee through a simple application and verification process. Means of verification include proof of participation in the public school free and reduced lunch program, proof of participation in the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), proof of participation in SNAP or CalFresh, or a nomination letter from a Claremont Unified School District principal or guidance counselor. Scholarships are limited to one child per class per summer (all children within a family or household are eligible, one application must be completed per child). Applications will be reviewed on individual basis. If scholarship funding exceeds requests, students may be offered the opportunity to register for a second class. Please note: Scholarships are only for the SLICE of Summer program. Scholarships for SLICE of STEM may be available separately through that program provider.

Student Drop Off: SLICE camps and classes are drop-off programs. For the safety and protection of all enrolled children, parent attendance with registered child or parent participation in camp/class with child is not permitted. On the first day of each session, parents should park and personally check-in their student at the CEF table set up in front of El Roble's multipurpose room (located at south end of campus) 15 minutes prior to the start of class. On subsequent days of the session, students should be dropped off no earlier than 15 minutes prior to the start of class and check in at the CEF table. CEF and SLICE of STEM teachers do not provide supervision and are not responsible for the safety or well-being of any students dropped off earlier than 15 minutes before the start of class.
