FAQs
Q: |
How do I become a member of REACH? |
A: |
When you are ready to commit to REACH, fill out the Request Membership form and submit it. It is very important that you read over our Membership Guidelines and Statement of Faith BEFORE requesting membership. Your application will be automatically added to our waiting list and will be reviewed if and when we have open spots. You will be notified if your membership is approved. Typically approvals happen in mid-August and mid-January. |
Q: |
What will it cost my family to attend REACH co-op? |
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 $25 per session (2 sessions per year for a total of $50 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: |
What are my responsibilities as a member of REACH? |
A: |
As a member of REACH, you are volunteering your time from 10:15am-2:45pm each Friday throughout the co-op year. Every member 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 be assigned end of day cleaning tasks each week. Further details of responsibilities are outlined in our Membership Guidelines. |
Q: |
Do I have to sign my children up for all three classes? |
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 membership will be reviewed and may be terminated. If there is a conflict for a student regarding a class, please speak to the director so that arrangements can be made. |
Q: |
What if we have to miss a Friday? |
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 Membeship Guidelines thoroughly for our detailed attendance policy and sick policy. |
Q: |
What if I have more questions? |
