Each parent is asked to do at least 8 co-op hours
each year. Co-op Hours are done over the summer and are devoted to getting the
school ready for a new school year. There are 4 Saturday workdays scheduled,
2 in June and 2 in August. Alternate jobs are also assigned which can be done
at the parent's convenience. Jobs include painting, repairing, cleaning, library
work, straightening supplies, etc.
Parents may pay $250 each in lieu of doing Co-op
Hours.
Cleaning is done on weekends any time between
Friday night and Sunday night, except for Sunday morning when another group
uses the building. The school is divided into 4 PODS. Families are assigned
to the POD that includes their child's rooms if at all possible. Each POD decides
how to schedule their cleaning. In most cases, families are assigned to one
weekend a month. The job usually takes 2-3 hours. We have a professional cleaning
company who does the floors, bathrooms, and trash cans. Parent cleaners do the
rest.
Parents may pay a buyout fee of $450 per family
in lieu of cleaning.
Each parent is asked to do at least 20 hours of
committee work per year. We have a variety of committees, including School Service,
Grounds, Maintenance, Newsletter, Social, Computers, etc. We assign parents
to one of their 3 choices if possible, although new parents sometimes can't
get one of their choices the first year.
Parents may pay $250 each in lieu of serving
on a committee.
