Family Commitments:
One of the many things that makes our program so great is the opportunity to work closely with our students and teachers. Listed below are the commitments our families make when joining Marysville Cooperative Education Program.
Volunteering in the Classroom: Every Family is responsible to complete a once a week 2.5 hour in-class volunteer shift per each enrolled child.This shift is scheduled and mutally agreed upon between the Teacher and Volunteer at the beginning of the school year and will remain on a regular and consistent schedule for the entire year.
Field Trips: Each family commits to chaperoning and/or driving on at least 2 field trips per student per school year. Field trips are an integral part of the Co-op, providing students with a vast array of learning experiences not available in the classroom.
Membership Meetings: There are 8 Monthly Membership meetings, typically held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. There are two parts to the meeting, program wide and classroom. In the classroom portion you will receive information on specifics for your class. In the program wide portion you will receive updates on the program as a whole, nominate and vote on council officers.
Committees: Each family participates in one committee per child in the program. There are many different committees to choose from, some are in the classroom while others are program wide.
Monetary Donation: In the Co-op – field trips, for example – are funded solely from parent/guardian support. Parents/guardians are asked to pledge $20 per child enrolled in the Co-op each month school is in session.
