Waitlist Update!
Dear GOAL Line Parents/Guardians,
We truly appreciate the interest in the program and are working hard to meet the needs of the community. Currently, GOAL Line has over 400 students on the waitlist! It is important to our school partners, parents, and interested students that we maximize program access for those who are committed to attending the program daily as well as participating in programming while in attendance. With that, we are announcing that we are removing students from the program who have 3 or more consecutive unexcused absences and will be pulling names from the waitlist to start attending. You will be notified of the changes/removal if you fall in that category.
If you are on the waitlist and are still interested, please reach out to us at info@goaldetroit.org so we can better ensure placement in the program. Please note that if your child does not consistently attend the program, they are subject to removal.
Any questions, feel free to contact us at: info@goaldetroit.org.
Sincerely,
GOAL Line Team
