Co-op Policies (Condensed)

General Information:

Classes are held on Mondays, 10:00-2:20 pm, August through April.

We break for Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas/New Year's, Winter, and Spring Break.

• All participants must be current Grace Life Co-op members.
• All classes are intended to be a drop-off class (including Preschool, if offered).
• All parents are required to fulfill a mandatory parent duty during the co-op year (cleaning, parent monitor, assisting a teacher, etc.)

Ages of students:

Preschool students must be potty-trained and are typically ages 3-5.

Elementary students are ages 5-12, or roughly K/1st through 6th grade. Classes are be taught by age rather than grade level.

Middle and High school students are considered those in 6th through 12th grade.

A child must be the listed age/grade level of a class on or before the first day of classes.

Class structure:

Class periods will last 55 minutes with a 5-minute break in between. A 20-minute lunch period is provided.

Membership:

• Family Registration Fee of $20/family (per year)
• Director's Fee of $20/family (per year)
• $50 tithe/donation gift to our host facility (per year)
• $5 Wal-Mart gift card per family to be used for cleaning supplies (per year)
• In the event of an emergency (unforeseen maintenance repair), we may request/require a small additional charge per family. This will cover any damage to the building, plumbing, or unexpected maintenance cost. *If your child/children intentionally or unintentionally damage the property of our host church, your family will be solely responsible for the monetary cost to repair the damage.

Refund Policy:

• If you decide to withdraw your child from ALL classes prior to the first day of the semester you may expect a 100% refund of your $20 Family Registration Fee and any monthly class payments made to teachers at our Registration Event. Class Supply Fees, the Director's Fee, and the host facility's gift/donation/tithes are non-refundable at any time.
• If you decide to withdraw your child for any reason prior to week 4 you may expect a 50% refund of any class payments paid for future weeks in which your child will not attend. Registration fees will not be refunded.
• If you decide to withdraw your child for any reason after week 4, you will not receive a refund of any kind and the remaining balance for that month will be due upon withdrawal.

Students and parents will be required to follow our dress code for modesty. See "Dress Code" on the Home Page.
