Parent Orientation & Expectations

Dear Families,

We’re excited to have your child join our FIRST LEGO League (FLL) team this season! FLL is not just an after-school activity—it’s an international program designed to help students develop STEM skills, creativity, teamwork, and leadership.

​

To ensure your child gets the most out of this experience, we want to be clear: it is a team commitment, where each student is an important contributor.

​

What FLL Is About

• Hands-on STEM learning: Designing, programming, and testing LEGO robots.

• Research & innovation: Exploring real-world problems and proposing creative solutions.

• Core Values: Discovery, Innovation, Impact, Inclusion, Teamwork, and Fun.

• Presenting & sharing: Students learn to communicate their work with judges, peers, and the community.

​

Expectations of Students

• Attend regularly and arrive ready to contribute.

• Take on team roles and responsibilities (robot build, coding, research, presentation prep, etc.).

• Work collaboratively and respectfully with teammates and mentors.

• Track goals and progress—this is a team project, not just playtime.

​

Expectations of Families

• Support at home: Ask your child about their role, progress, and what they’ve learned.

• Participation: When possible, volunteer to help (snacks, transportation, sharing expertise, event support).

• Engagement: Attend showcases, competitions, and celebration events.

• Respect the purpose: Please don’t treat sessions as drop-off childcare. Mentors are here to coach, not supervise.

​

Why This Matters

When students take ownership, and when families stay engaged, FLL becomes transformational—building confidence, skills, and friendships that last long beyond the season.

​

Thank you for helping us make this an enriching and purposeful experience for every student!

​

Sincerely,
Your Coaching Team
