Prologue

Dear CTY LA parents and guardians,

We are only a few days away from Check-In Day and the start of Session 2 at LMU, and our staff have been diligently preparing for the arrival of your students. We would like to take this opportunity to let you know about important arrival information, and provide you with several reminders to help you prepare for the start of the program.

1.Arrival Location and Parking: 

（1）Student check-in will occur outside CTY's main offices in DRS.Please remind your child not to leave the dormitory area without company. 

（2）Once you enter LMU’s campus, follow LMU Drive up the hill, to the third Stop Sign. At this sign go left and follow the road around the curve; you will pass the chapel on your left, then a cluster of dorms (ROS, WHE, DES, DRN, DRS)—after these dorms take a left onto Rosecrans Lane. Follow this lane until you are able to turn left from it into a large parking area behind the cluster of dorms. Here you will be able to park in any open spot (please pay attention to parking signs, however--Campus Security will be ticketing any cars illegally parked in Handicap spots, fire lanes, or any vehicles parked in "20 minute" zones that remain longer than 20 minutes. Also please note that not all “open spots”are open). Please follow the above instructions clearly since we can’t ensure your security beyond the above places. 

（3）Check in will be in between this cluster of dorms. You can find a labeled campus map here.

2.Opening Day Schedule: 

Student check-in begins at 10 AM, and runs through 2 PM. There won’t be anyone attending to check-in beyond the time in open area. Any student who is late should go to the main office to check-in The parent orientation meeting is at 2:30 PM at BUR. Please do not go into any places on campus without permission from a teacher.

Also please note: CTY students do not attend the orientation meeting, so they should remain on their hall with their RA. Families will not be allowed back in the dorm after 2:30, so you should say your goodbyes prior to heading over to the meeting. This meeting is optional, but you will have the opportunity to meet and speak with your student's instructor at this time. All parents/guardians need to be off-campus by 4 PM. 

3.For students arriving via CTY’s Shuttle Service: 

Our Shuttle Coordinator Turquoise Wilder will be in contact with families this week to verify flight information. She will only contact you via phone or e-mail. After verifying this information, she will be able to provide you the name of the staff member that will be your child’s Unaccompanied Minor escort (if you have arranged for this service through your airline). Students arriving via this shuttle service will be escorted through the check-in process by staff, including a trip to the bookstore in order for them to pick up their books. Questions about the shuttle service can be directed to Turquoise Wilder.

4.Books/Supplies:

 Books are now included as part of summer tuition, and you and your student can pick them up at the bookstore between 10 AM - 3 PM on arrival day (students who arrive late will obtain them the following day). Do not take your child to the bookstore beyond this time. 

Students are responsible for bringing the following common school supplies: a 3-ring binder (1 inch), loose leaf paper, pencils, pens, an eraser, and a scientific calculator (for math and science classes). Students who do not bring these items with them will be able to purchase them at the campus bookstore.

5.Medical Information:

（1）Please bring only essential medications in original containers with instructions on the container in English.

（2）Only medications with BOTH parent and physician written authorization will be administered. This includes both prescription and non-prescription meds (including vitamins, supplements, etc.).

（3）Do not bring medications (non-prescription) that are already being supplied by CTY in the Health Office (all OTCs that were checked off on the medical forms).

（4）If your student is missing essential health documentation for participation in CTY, you will be notified by phone or email this week. Please check your email and respond by uploading to your student’s CampDoc account (accesible through your MyCTY account) or have copies available at check-in.
