 All students are expected to remain engaged and put forth their best effort during all team activities. The RoboBees operate on a busy schedule and require a lot of quality time from its students. This quality time is defined as time spent working toward the team’s goals. While we are at a team event, we expect students to be working on team-related activities. If required, due to schedule or workload issues, students may be asked to help with a task that is outside of their normal responsibilities. Students are expected to complete these tasks to the best of their abilities and support the team in any way they can.
-Students are expected to remain engaged with the team outside the normal team activities, albeit in a limited manner. Students are expected to receive and check Slack and email for team-related messages once a day. The number one way our team communicates is via Slack for day-to-day correspondence. Important announcements will also be sent via email. While updates are often also sent out via email, a Slack message is often the fastest and first way to find out about team business. Sometimes updates are time-critical, such as meeting cancellations, and the ability to receive and check team messages at least once a day is critical.

-==== Mentor/Volunteer Expectations ====
+Students are expected to behave in a professional manner and are, especially in public, expected to address each other with respect. In order to ensure that appropriate respect is afforded the volunteers and mentors, and in an effort to emphasize the sports-like manner of the team, FRC students are expected to address the mentors and volunteers by their titles. The title of "coach" is preferred but "Mr.", "Ms.", and "Dr." are also acceptable.
+===== Parent Expectations =====
+In general, parents are responsible for ensuring that students arrive and depart the
+meeting on time. The team will ask for volunteers to complete crucial tasks that help keep the organization running smoothly. These tasks may include:
+  * Supplying potluck lunches
+  * Facilitating transportation to and from events
+  * Serve as a mentor for the team.
+  * Assist in submitting grants and sponsorship requests on behalf of the organization.
+The last responsibility of all our parents is to help their students balance robotics
+activities with schoolwork. As a community-based organization, we have no direct insight into a student’s performance in school, but our priority is school first and robotics second.
+===== Mentor Expectations =====
 At all times, the mentors are responsible for ensuring that all decisions (including but not limited to: robot design, student participation levels, work group makeup) are made in the best interest of the majority of students and the team as a whole.

 look beyond FIRST, experience college, and explore other opportunities available to them. It also helps to create a sense of ownership for existing students on the team as they become upperclassmen instead of having them become dependent on graduated team members’ experience.

 For those college freshmen who have a burning desire to stay involved with the organization, and who feel like they can manage their college experience along with robotics, we encourage you to join our combat robotics program with Team Honey Cracked.
