Q:

A:

Homeschool Helpers (also known as HH), is a local homeschool support group. We are a true co-operative group, not a drop-off group. HH was founded in 2009 with just 10 families! Our board is fully Christian and our group operates with Christian values. Primarily, we meet for class days twice each month during the school year. We offer class options for students of all ages from Preschool-12th grade.

Q:

A:

Anyone who homeschools can join HH. We do not require our members to agree to our statement of faith but rather allow anyone to join who is willing to respect our guidelines and values.

Q:

A:

Costs associated with HH are threefold. Families pay an annual Membership Fee ($75), a Building Fee ($10 per semester), and Class Registration fees. Class registration fees are based directly on the supply costs incurred to the class teachers. Some classes are offered free of charge. You select the class options that are best for your family. All fees are due by the first day of classes in September and February. If fees are not paid, you will not be permitted to attend classes unless special arrangements have been made.

Fees will be invoiced to all Members when Class Registration opens in August. 

Q:

A:

Our goal at HH is to provide fun engaging classes, community, encouragement, inspiration, and more! We meet twice a month during the school year, offering multiple class options for all students from Preschool-12th grade, as well as Nursery care for our Teachers and Helpers. Classes are held the first two Mondays of each month. Semesters run from September-December and February-May. (September classes are held the second and third Mondays due to Labor Day.) Class options are offered at 9:00, 10:00, 11:00 and 1:00. Our members ARE our teachers, and they choose what they want to teach. Most class offerings are elective or enrichment based, though some classes touch on core subjects. 

We also offer a Winter Talent Show, a Spring event, holiday parties, dress-up days, bi-annual standardized testing, and more.

Q:

A:

It is essential that everyone pitches in to teach, help, prepare lunch, organize events, and more. Members may register for the class hours that best fit their families schedule, whether that's a full day of classes or just a couple of hours. Upon registration, consistent attendance and participation is expected. Parents/guardians who are not teaching will be assigned Helper Duties up to 2 hours of the class day. We also expect Members to attend Parent Meetings held in November, February, and May. HH reserves the right to deny future membership to families who routinely disregard their duties and/or commitments at HH. 

Q:

A:

Members are eligible to teach (and encouraged to do so) after one semester of active participation at HH. Teachers may be asked to sign in agreement with the HH Statement of Faith. All potential classes will be approved by the board. Teachers may not present materials in opposition to the Christian faith. 

You may teach up to 2 classes (2 hours) per semester. If you are teaching two hours, you will not be assigned additional helper duties. Members who teach one hour may be assigned a single hour of additional helper duties.

Q:

A:

We do not work from a particular curriculum, our teachers use the resources of their choosing, so long as they are not contrary to the group’s stated values.

Q:

A:

We are a Christian group, and therefore, we must dress in a manner that honors God and shows respect to others who are in the building. Center Road Church of Christ has graciously allowed us to use their building, and there may be times when other groups are using the facilities at the same time our group meets. We ask that all students and parents (or guardians) be modest and conservative in their dress (i.e. proper use of undergarments, no mini-skirts, no short shorts, no clothing that exposes large areas of skin on the stomach and/or back, no clothing with wording that dishonors God, promotes violence or adult themes, etc.). We are having school and an atmosphere of academic learning must be present. Please make sure your whole family is aware of these expectations before deciding to enroll in a class, as these guidelines will be enforced. We also respectfully ask that you follow these same guidelines during field trips and other group activities. 

Out of courtesy to our membership, nursing mothers are asked to be discreet while nursing.

Q:

A:

Members may purchase a simple prepared lunch for a small fee (essentially at cost). This includes your choice of hot dog or toasted cheese sandwich, a bag of chips, a fruit (cup or fresh), a dessert item (ie pudding cup, cookies, etc), and a juice or water bottle. Alternatively, you may pack a lunch or leave to purchase lunch locally. Please be advised, we are a nut free group! Please do not bring any items including nuts of any type, including coconut. 

Q:

A:

If your little one struggles to separate, you may be assigned as a helper alongside them.

Q:

A:

We desire to support our families as much as we can. While our resources are limited, we will do what we can to help your family participate in HH. Please discuss your student’s specific needs with a Board Member to determine if we can provide the necessary adjustments and/or accommodations.

Q:

A:

Parents/guardians who are not assigned helpers in a particular class may attend class with their student at the teacher's discretion and as space permits.

Q:

A:

HH offers nursery care for infants and toddlers whose parents/guardians are engaged in teaching or helping. During your free time, you may accompany your child in the nursery, but nursery drop off will not be permitted.
