Homework Requirements, Required Supplies and Age Guidelines Homework and Supply Requirements When selecting your classes, please make note of the homework requirements. Some classes depend on the student’s athome preparation to make the most of the class. If you see a homework requirement next to a class you are interested in, keep in mind that your child needs to complete the homework at home during the week to continue participating in the class. Out of respect for the teachers who spend time preparing the class work, students who fail to complete homework or bring the required materials to class on a routine basis will be withdrawn from the class and required to spend the remainder of the term with their parent during that hour. We appreciate your cooperation with this. If you or your child are not interested in having homework, please select classes where homework is not indicated (there are many to choose from). In addition, other classes require students to bring specific materials with them each week (ex: notebook, laptop, etc). Students who regularly leave their supplies at home will be required to sit with their parents during the class, as it is disruptive to the other students to have non-participatory students in the room. Class Age Guidelines: The age guidelines listed by each class are recommendations, not hard and fast rules. If you have a question about a particular class’ requirements or guidelines, please contact our class coordinator and she will discuss with you why the class has a particular recommendation, and then you may use your best judgment to determine where to place your child.
Assisting at Friday School: Where Do the Parents Go? All parents, returning and new, are required to assist/teach two hours at co-op. On registration day, you will register yourself just like you do your students, putting two choices of classes (to assist in) each hour. If you are already teaching a class, then just put choices for the hours you do not teach; you will be assigned to help one hour. Places to Assist at Friday School The following positions are needed to help Friday School run smoothly. Here are the various places to assist: • • • • •
Classroom assistant (needed for each class; some classes require more than one assistant) First, Second or Third Hour Door Monitor (remain in lobby all hour; good time to read or do quiet work) Before School Door Monitor (9:00—9:30) or After School Door Monitor (from 1:00-1:30) Nursery Workers Third Hour Clean Up (see description on page 8) Your Free Hour
During your hour “off,” join other parents for tea, coffee and talk. Sometimes we have a formal or “led” discussion, sometimes we just hang out and chit-chat. An experienced homeschool mom is present in the “parents’ room” each hour to answer questions and encourage you in your journey! Note: parents are required to remain on co-op grounds during their time off (unless arrangements have been made for special circumstances). Student Helpers in the Nursery and Preschool Students over age 12 may register as a nursery helper any hour of co-op. They will be supervised by an adult in the nursery but will assist in all the fun of serving in the nursery. There is no charge for students who volunteer to be a nursery helper.
