Hi Everyone!

Your leadership team spends quite a bit of time getting registration set up, in hopes that it will make the registration process easier for you and for the Registrar and Treasurer. With so much information to process, there are going to be a few errors as we get distracted by the necessities of life. :) Please be patient with us and give us any feedback/corrections via an email to chomarysville@gmail.com. 

Here is how the registration process will work:

1. Set up/update your membership account:  Please review your account to make sure that you have your children's names and ages correct in your account. We've found that even one missed birthdate can create issues when you try to register for classes. If your teens are taking a class that includes an online discussion forum (this will be specified in the class description), please set up a login for each student to participate in the class forum. All forums are moderated by adults.

2. Register all of your children for their classes:  Simply click on the Class Registration link to the left. Registering each child is as easy as clicking the class you want, selecting the checkbox next to the child you want to enroll, and clicking Register! You can see before you register whether there is still room in the class. Once you click Register, the child is added to that class roster, and class fees will automatically be added to your balance (it may take a few minutes for the balance at the top right of your screen to update). Be sure to register infants and toddlers into the Nursery, or we will not have a place for them. Make sure to sign up every member of your family who is participating in co-op, for every class period.  

To see and/or change the classes you have registered for, click View Classes Summary in the upper right hand corner of the Classes page. That will show you a summary of all classes you've chosen and give you the option to remove your child from a class if you change your mind or accidentally register for the wrong one. If you do make any changes to the schedule and remove a student from a class, please send us a quick note, so that we can make sure that they are removed from the master list (or you may get charged for that class).

Students will only be allowed to enroll in classes for their own age group. If you have a request to enroll your child in a class for a different age group, you must do so with permission from our administrators and the teachers of the class. Exceptions will not be considered for classes that are full.

If the class that you wish to enroll your child is full, you may add him or her to the waitlist for that class. Please ALSO register him or her for a second-choice class option, so we make sure they have a spot! Any students with unpaid Membership fees will be removed 10 days after registration closes and students from the waiting list will be added. The Registrar will reassign your student and you will need to check your account for any changes in class fees.

4. Register yourself to be a helper for a class in each period:  Every parent needs to be teaching or helping in a class each period. Only returning parents are allowed to sign up for Hall Monitor or Floater positions. Please make sure that you are only assigned to one class per period. Teachers and co-teachers are pre-assigned to their classes already. If you do not have a preference where you are helping, you may leave your registration blank and the registrar will assign you where you are most needed. While we do our best to accommodate your first choices, the registrar may move you to a different class based on enrollment needs once registration is complete.

5. Pay your $80 Membership Fee to complete your registration:  This amount must be paid in order to finalize your registration and reserve your children's places in their classes. Again the $80 membership fee is not refundable and must be paid by everyone by the closing date of registration.  A $25 late fee will be assessed to any accounts that the Membership Fee has not been paid by the closing day of registration.  If the account is allowed to go 10 days past due, that family's account will be closed and their their class spots will be made available to other students.  Once the account is closed, for that term, the balance returns to zero and the family may try again next term to enroll. We recognize their are times when family crisis can make it difficult to pay on time. You must communicate with the Leader and Treasurer for any accommodations to be made, at their discretion. 

6. Class Supply Fees:  Supply Fees are to be paid by the Friday two weeks before classes begin. You may pay via PayPal, from your account login, or you may bring a check to Orientation or arrange to meet up with the Treasurer. (Teachers, keep in mind that adjustments will be made to your balance to account for fees you will receive for supplies for your classes. Please wait to pay class fees until the adjustments have been made.)

7. Background Checks:  All new adults (18 years old +) who will be attending co-op need to complete a background check and an online safety training. The fee for this is $37.50/person. You will see this billed to your account. Background check fees must be paid two weeks before the start of the semester. They can be paid via PayPal, from the account login, or by check at Orientation or coordinated with the Treasurer. You'll receive a link to the online safety training within a week or so of signing up for classes; this can be completed whenever convenient for you, but must be completed before the first day of classes. Background checks and safety trainings must be updated every three years, for all participating adults.
