CHILDREN’S PROGRAM HEADQUARTERS Although each Children’s Program group has its own headquarters, the main headquarters for the Children’s Program is located in Phillips Brooks House. Harvard Alumni Association (HAA) Reunion Coordinators Michele Blanc and Shealan Conway and members of their staff will be at the information desk from 8:00 a.m. (7:00 a.m. on Commencement Day) until midnight to answer your questions and render assistance. Security personnel will be on duty from midnight until 8:00 a.m. in case of emergencies. CHILDREN’S PROGRAM OVERVIEW It is recommended that parents escort their children to the appropriate age-specific group headquarters or point of departure each day. Each group of children will have its own full program. Breakfast has been scheduled daily at Annenberg Hall starting at 6:30 a.m. so that children can join their groups in time for the first activity, starting at 8:30, 9:00, or 9:30 depending on the particular day. Please note start times in this guide. Children should finish breakfast by the time indicated in parentheses in order to be on time for their first activity. If a child is signed up for evening activities only, please meet up with your group’s counselors/directors at the start of dinner. It is very important that parents notify their child’s group whenever a child will not participate in a scheduled activity. Entire groups are delayed if a child is unaccounted for. Please notify the group director or a counselor directly if your child will not be participating in a particular activity. You may also call headquarters at 617-495-2881 and inform the student on duty.

1 If you are commuting to Harvard, please make arrangements with your child’s counselor or director so that your child will be brought to Straus Common Room after evening activities to be looked after until you return from your evening event. Night sitters and night counselors will not look after children at off-campus locations. After evening events, counselors will escort children in all groups who are staying on campus to their rooms. Rainbow, Canary, and Grape Group night sitters will look after these youngest children in their rooms. Night counselors for children in the Red, Blue, Green, and Young Adult Groups will be on duty in the entries of the dormitories; children participating in these groups will not have one-on-one sitting in their rooms. All nighttime supervision ends at 12:30 a.m. Please plan accordingly. Note that supervision for children participating in the Children’s Program will end at 11 a.m. on Sunday. TICKETS AND NAME BADGES Name badges will serve as identification and tickets for all Children’s Program events and care. Children must wear their name badges at all times during Reunion. Lost name badges can be replaced at headquarters (Phillips Brooks House). LIABILITY FOR INJURY OR LOSS Every reasonable precaution is being taken for the safety of your children. However, no individual or committee can or does assume liability for injury to any person or for loss of, or damage to, property at any time or place during Reunion. Please keep the doors to your rooms locked at all times.

2 PROCTORED EXAMINATIONS If you have previously arranged for your child to take a proctored examination while at Harvard, check at headquarters (Phillips Brooks House) to schedule an exam. Exams will be held on Saturday, unless otherwise arranged. TIPPING COUNSELORS Students perform various duties throughout Reunion and greatly appreciate gratuities. An envelope for gratuities will be provided in your registration packet for your convenience; please write the group and counselor’s name on the envelope. HALF-DAYS/PART-DAYS If you have signed up your child for the evening activities only, please meet up with the group at the start of dinner. It is your responsibility to locate your child’s counselors/directors at this time. Children in the Rainbow and Canary Groups need to be dropped off at the basement of Thayer Hall by 4:30 p.m. for evening activities and nighttime care. If you would like to have your child join the day’s activities once activities have begun, please first proceed to Phillips Brooks House. HAA staff will contact the appropriate group director and coordinate a meeting. If your child cannot meet up with the group because the group is off campus, he or she will be able to meet up with his or her group when they return.
