Meeting Times & Parent Details
Meeting Schedule: Mondays, Wednesdays, After-school-6 PM.
Team Safety Contracts: If you have not received the Team Safety Contract (aka Team Contract) print it out or get it from Coach Paniza. We need them returned ASAP so we can begin to send out FIRST Registration forms and so students can participate in team work. You can find the link to access it on the team website under ABOUT/Important Links, or here:2026-2027 FRC Team 702 Student Contract & Liability Agreement
Parent Info Meeting: We will hold a Parent Information Meeting on the 26th from 1PM to 3:30PM. It will cover information for this coming school year. If you can attend, please do.
SoCal Showdown Prep: Our meetings are being used to prepare for SoCal Showdown and to train new members. If you would like to attend SoCal Showdown, be sure to show up!
Open House: We will have an Open House during Back to School Night to give parents the opportunity to see what their students are doing during our meetings and within the Robotics classes.
Parent Supervision Volunteering: Because our coaches both work full time jobs, they are not able to make every meeting, and also appreciate breaks when they can get them. Because of that, we are asking for parents to sign up when available to cover for our coaches during meetings. No experience in engineering is necessary. You can sign up here https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0D49A4A629A2FCC52-65707467-parent#/ or access it on the team website under ABOUT/Important Links.
Parent Volunteering: If you would like to volunteer with the team at events, you need to become registered with CCUSD & FIRST. You can find the required information here:
