TYCTWD FAQs
- Why is the age range only from 4 to 15 years old for the children?
With the programs being offered, this age range is what was felt as being appropriate for each of these events. In future years, we hope to be able to offer more programs and expand the age range and number of participants.
- Why do parents need to accompany their children to the event?
This requirement came from the Office of Risk Management based on safety concerns; this area also indicated a requirement for the Release and Indemnification Agreement Form (OGC-S-2013-11) be filled out by the parent for each child during the registration process.- On the first page, the child is the participant (fill out the child's/children's name[s] and address), then fill in "Take Your Child to Work Day" in the description of the activity or trip. On the third page, the child/children sign(s) at the left, and the parent signs at the right.
- We also need the Authorization for Use of Image Form (OGC-SF-2003-02) for everyone to take pictures of their children and other children at the event; please fill out one form for each child attending the event.
- Should I take leave for the event?
Since the parent will need to be with his/her child during the morning event based on Office of Risk Management guidelines, the staff member will need to ask his/her supervisor whether or not to take vacation leave for the morning of the event, and whether or not the child can be in the staff member’s work area for the afternoon.
- If we are not specifically working as an employee in any of the event sites for June 7th, can we still bring our children to any of the events?
Yes, you can bring your child to any event of your choosing, no matter where you work on UH campus, based on when you sign up.
- When will registration open?
Registration will be availble in March.
