Being There Matters(Jamie Spatola)
The Emily K Center staff does not simply admit an individual student into the Pioneer Scholars program, they admit that student and a family dedicated to his or her success. From the beginning, the staff at the Center partners with the childs support system at home in a mutual commitment to that childs educational and character development. New families to the Center go through a Family Orientation as well as a Parent/Student conference with Center staff members.
