Our Programs

Parent Participation Requirements

Each parent is scheduled to work in the classroom as an aide one time per week or one day every other week. Limited memberships are also available. Each family is responsible for participating in maintenance days, which are scheduled one per semester. Co-op membership activities include committee work, a classroom job, maintenance, and electing and assisting the executive board.

Workdays

Each family is required to have one person work in the classroom one day every week or one day every other week. If your child attends three days a week or more, we recommend that you work one day every week. The "No Classroom Work" positions are available on a limited basis.

Meetings

At least one member from each family is required to attend the monthly general membership meeting.

General Maintenance

All families are required to assist with maintaining and improving the school. There are two "maintenance days" held during the school year which is equal to four hours of work.

Job Participation

Each family will be given a job assignment such as garden, hospitality, or field trips. The job will be given to you and your family based on the forms filled out in the membership packet. Each job position is automatically part of a larger school committee. Through these jobs and committees, the school is able to run the administrative, financial, classroom and physical aspects of operation. It's a great way to be involved in the school and help things run efficiently.

Fundraising

Each family is required to participate in fundraising efforts and sign up for eScrip. Escrip is the equivalent of a gift certificate and the school receives a percentage of your purchases.
