lI. STUDENTS’ SAFETY/SUPERVISION Lakeway Heritage Community Co-op’s last class ends at 2:30 pm, and children need to be picked up by 2:45.
lII. HOMEWORK RESPONSIBILITIES Enrichment classes will offer limited homework and only serve to enhance the family’s home schooling experience. Course grades are not generally given for Enrichment classes, unless requested by the parents. Requested grades will be for class participation only. Students enrolled in Academic classes will most likely have weekly assignments/projects. These assignments should be a priority for the student because it hinders the entire class if the student doesn’t keep up. If a teacher feels that assignments are not being done, and that the student’s lack of preparation is a hindrance to the class, we reserve the right to ask the child to withdraw from the class for the rest of the semester. In this case, no further monies will be due. Grades will be emailed at semester end to our email on record.

IV. COOPERATIVE “VOLUNTEER” REQUIREMENTS Every registered family is required to fulfill a 14-hour Adult Cooperative (“Volunteer”) Commitment each semester, 28 hours per year. All families may buy out these hours at the rate of $10 per hour. Note the three choices for fulfillment and initial your choice:
Choice A) Cooperative work shifts will be worked by parent/guardian or approved adult substitute under the guidelines set by the Volunteer Coordinator (VC), and it will be the responsibility of the parent/guardian to assure date, time and duties. In the event that a cooperative shift requirement cannot be fulfilled, it is your responsibility to find an approved substitute willing to cover your shift, and it is also required that you call/text the VC (Tina Barnes) to inform them of the change. Should you not show up or make arrangements for your shift to be covered there will be a $20 fine plus $10.00/hr shift payment charge imposed.
Choice B) Work hours can be bought out at a rate of $10.00 per shift. This fee will be used to pay a substitute parent and is due at registration. Should you want to utilize this plan at a later time during the semester, it will be granted solely by the discretion of the VC.
Choice C) A hybrid of both Volunteer and and cashing out hours. Let Tina know how many hours you would like to work vs cashing out. The rate is still $10 per hour to cash out per shift, but you have a chance to work some hours and cash out some.
