Students should come prepared for a full day of outdoor and active programming, including appropriate footwear for walking in the woods and a raincoat in case of wet weather. Personal belongings are the responsibility of each student; Pike School is not liable for any lost items. Personal electronic devices are not permitted. If a student brings a phone, it may only be used with explicit permission and supervision from a Pike faculty or staff member. All necessary equipment and materials will be provided by Pike and students should not bring additional items that could distract from their participation or learning.

Lunch and snacks are provided through The Pike School's contracted food service, Flik. Participants may choose to bring their own lunch or snacks but should not share their food to maintain a safe environment for those with allergies within the Pike Community. Please Note: The Pike School is a nut-free environment.

The Pike School Nurse, a licensed R.N., will be onsite to support the overall health and safety, including wellness, injuries, allergy, and medication management.

Participants are expected to appropriately engage in the program as supported by the faculty and staff set ratios. In the event a participant challenges the health and safety, social, emotional, or learning environment at Pike School, the Director of Auxiliary Programs, in consultation with the Pike School Nurse, will contact the participant's parent or legal guardian. A participant may be dismissed from the program if it is determined that they are compromising the health and safety or learning environment of the Pike community.

The Pike School Faculty-to-Student ratio will not exceed 1:12, and it will be supported by vetted Pike School staff and Pike alumni to support classroom activities, lunch, recess, and choice activities. All faculty and staff have been screened with background checks.

The SPARK@Pike! Academy is led by the Director of Auxiliary Programs, Nancy Hartmann, nhartmann@pikeschool.org, 978-475-1197
