Requirements

• Create a CCHC Family account on our website

• Parents will teach, co-teach, or volunteer for each hour of co-op attendance.  
• Co-op Duties- Each family is required to complete 2 co-op duty dates each semester. Most duties take place before &/or after co-op, such as setting up/breaking down classrooms, emptying trash, checking bathrooms, and general cleaning, among other things. CCHC offers 2 families to opt out for $50. This $50 goes towards the general fund. CCHC Co-op requires significant assistance with setup and teardown to make the co-op possible. The Facility Coordinator (Heather) will divy out instructions to each family.

High School Students

• A new CCHC HS program has been formed.  This includes weekly CORE classes, HS student drop-off, and an opportunity for teens to plan events.
• CORE classes meet every Wednesday (starting Sept. 2nd) and run from 10 a.m. to 2:15 p.m.

• HS students will still have plenty of options at our twice/month co-op if you are not interested in the weekly classes.
• If you have any questions or would like to teach a future CORE class, please contact Heather Autry here using the subject "Teacher 4 CORE Classes." 

CCHC Board-initiated Changes

• Co-teachers will no longer be able to register early with teachers.  Unfortunately, we had a significant issue with classes/nursery filling up before teachers had a chance to register.  Therefore, this privilege should be reserved exclusively for the lead teachers only.  Special circumstances in certain classes necessitate a team of lead teachers (e.g., Preschool, Hatchet, etc.).  If you are planning a class like this, please message the board privately.

Your CCHC Website Account

• Please ensure that your family information on your website Account is up to date.  If you know anyone who wants to join our cooperative this year, please encourage them to create their family account on our website as soon as possible.

Bathroom Policy

Preschool children (ages 3-5) will be escorted and assisted in the restrooms as needed. In all other classes, the teacher or helper will stand outside the bathroom and help the younger students if necessary. The number of hall monitors has been increased to assist with restroom monitoring. Please ensure that no accidents occur in the bathroom before returning to your class.

Door Policy

All doors will remain locked after the start of each co-op meet. A welcome table helper will let families in the door as needed.

Other Items

• Have a field trip in mind?  Please get in touch with us!  The Board needs help with getting those planned.  It can be as simple as a day at the park or beach, or a trip to the museum, and so on.
   
• Pray with us!  Join us in praying over our CCHC co-op.  We hope to continue to strengthen our homeschool community!
