We recognize that all moms are not always going to be in an ideal season for such a commitment. There are plenty of opportunities to help support the Co-op aside from teaching (classroom assistants, nursery providers, recess watch, subbing, etc).

Role Descriptions 

The co-op is an elective schooling option where students and parents work together to provide a variety of classes and extra curricular activities.

Parents are expected to:

• volunteer in two class periods selected at registration for co-op. If you cannot fulfill your obligations on class day Amanda or Molly need to be notified as soon as possible (prior to co-op start time.) Our volunteers are essential to the co-op running smoothly, and in honoring the building-use policy of adult-to-child ratios.

• be where they are assigned in a timely fashion. This means being present and helpful, not being on your phone or being distracted by outside needs, or leaving the class without coverage.

• take turns with: Lunch room cleanup, bringing a break room snack, and recess monitor at end of day during cleanup. We use Quick Sign-up to organize these tasks.

• remain in the building unless pre-discussed and approved.

• prepare their children to uphold our 3 rules: Respect each other, Respect the space and Be teachable. 

• prepare Students to understand they are not allowed to leave a class for any reason without an adult and permission.
