ENTRADA PARENT/GUARDIAN PARTNER AGREEMENT
Entrada is a unique experience, providing high school students the opportunity to both take a college course for credit
and to live on campus while taking the course. In order to make Entrada the best experience possible for students we

These include:
1. NO VISITORS—Families and friends of potential applicants need to understand that students may not receive
outside visitors during the program (except for the family orientation on June 17 and graduation on July 14).
2. NO OUTSIDE OF ENTRADA ACTIVITIES—Families and friends of potential applicants must be clear on this point: no
outside activities, including weddings, family reunions, etc., can be attended if a student chooses to attend Entrada.
Students must remain with the Entrada Schlars Program for the dates of June 17 to July 14.
By signing this agreement, I
