Q:

A:

When you are ready to commit to REACH, fill out and submit the application. It is very important that you read over our Co-op Guidelines and Statement of Faith BEFORE submitting. Your application will be automatically added to our waiting list and will be reviewed if and when we have open spots. After your application is received you will be notified of next steps via email. If we have room in our classes we invite families off of our waitlist between semesters, so typically approvals happen in July/August and January.

Q:

A:

REACH tries to be a budget-friendly co-op. There is an annual registration fee of $50 per family for new families and $40 per family for returning families. There is also a facility fee of $40 per semester (2 semesters per year for a total of $80 per year). We do our best to limit class fees. While many classes have no fee, some classes do have a fee of up to $15 per student for special supplies. Teachers are asked to keep supply fees as minimal as possible.

Q:

A:

As a participant in REACH, you are volunteering your time from 10:00am-2:45pm each Friday throughout the co-op year. An adult from every family is required to submit one class per session that they are willing to teach. For any periods you are not teaching your own class, you are assigned as a helper to another teacher. 

Every family is also assigned a closing clean-up duty that they are responsible for each session. Students 6th grade and up are also assigned end of day cleaning tasks each week.

Further details of responsibilities are outlined in our Co-op Guidelines.

Q:

A:

Yes. Your children must be registered for all classes each session. If a parent intentionally allows their child to sit out of a registered class, the family's status in REACH will be reviewed and they may be removed from co-op. If there is a conflict for a student regarding a class, please speak to the director so that arrangements can be made.

Q:

A:

While we expect all REACH families to attend co-op every week, we do understand that sometimes illness or emergencies happen. Please read our Co-op Guidelines thoroughly for our detailed attendance policy and sick policy.
