General Information
The College for Kids program serves students entering grades
4 – 9 the following school year. We design our curricula to
meet the needs of the general student population.
Guidelines for Parents
• EMERGENCY CONTACT FORMS ARE MANDATORY!
College for Kids requires a completed emergency contact
form for each student attending the program. It is the parent/
guardian’s responsibility to complete the emergency contact
form prior to the start of classes. Children may not attend
any session without a completed emergency form. NO
EXCEPTIONS. After registering your child, you will receive a
confirmation email that will direct you to the emergency contact
form website.
INFORMATION REGARDING REGISTRATION FOR
RETURNING STUDENTS
Please visit the registration page on our website for detailed
instructions regarding your child’s User ID, password, and
student ID#. You will not be able to register without having this
information.
• We recommend that you and your child visit the campus
prior to the first day of classes. NEW! We are holding two free
orientation sessions from 9:30-11am on the following dates:
Saturday, May 16th
Saturday June 6th
For more information, please visit our website.

during drop off / pick up times at the Pleasant Hill Campus. We have coordinated with Police Services to allow a drive-thru

parking permit displayed in their windshield regardless of
whether they park. Permits will be sent home during the 1st
week of each session.
• Should you decide to park at the San Ramon campus, a
parking permit is NOT required. The drop off and pick-up
location is by the north parking lot (on the same side as the
traffic circle). Police services will have a drive through lane at
this location.
Faculty
College for Kids has chosen its faculty carefully to assure subject
matter expertise and skill in working with young people. Many are
referred by teachers and administrators in local schools. Other
instructors are Diablo Valley College faculty members. All have
had practical experience with the subjects they teach and years of
teaching experience.
Note: All CFK staff members (Instructors and Aides) are
fingerprinted and cleared through the Federal Bureau of
Investigation as well as the Department of Justice.
