Parent Involvement


Parent Participation in the Classroom

Parents will be required to volunteer in the classroom approximately every three to five weeks depending on class size. If a parent cannot volunteer due to work/school schedule, a friend, family member or babysitter may fill in as long as they have a criminal background check complete prior to volunteering. 

Other children, family members and friends are not allowed to accompany parents on volunteer days. It is distracting to both your child and the other children in the classroom. Alternative arrangements will need to be made for other children in your care on the days you volunteer. Many parents within the coop work out babysitting swapping schedules so all can have a chance to participate in the classroom.


Parent Committees

Parents are also required to be part of a committee that are essential to help run and support the school. Our committees include:

Parent Participation Committee
Events Committee
Housekeeping Committee
Property Management Committee

Please visit our Parent Committees page for more information.


Meetings

The general co-op membership meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm at the school. All board members and chairpersons are required to attend. All parents are encouraged to attend and occasionally meetings will be mandatory. Currently, childcare is not provided during the meetings.
