Registration fees are as follows:
A basic membership in the cooperative will be one fee based on how many children in the family are taking classes. The basic membership includes the following classes: all core classes, all religion, science for grades 1-5, physical education, and any other parent-led classes such as Art for K-2.
1 student: $75/semester
2-4 students: $150/semester
5 or more students: $200/semester
There may be small supply fees for some membership classes, this will be determined by each teacher.
Elective classes are NOT included in the basic membership. These classes include: Art taught by a professional, Junior and Senior High Science, Literature and Composition high school level classes, music appreciation, foreign languages, keyboarding, dance.
Families that want to only take electives would pay a $25 per student registration and cleaning fee; this would be in addition to any fee paid to the teacher for the class. (This is a change from last semester.)
If you want to take a class that is one of the membership classes, you MUST purchase a membership in the co-op. (This is a change from last semester.)
In order to function under this system, all families will be required to do volunteer work. Volunteer work is defined as a weekly job which would include teaching, acting as a teacher's aid, supervising children outdoors or in the nursery, weekly set-up or cleaning. There are also a couple volunteer jobs that can be done at home, please talk to a board member about this. There will be an additional $75/semester fee for any family who does not want to do volunteer work.
