CLASSES

FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to pay for classes? 

            Our co-op is fee-based.  Teachers are paid monthly.

What if I can’t be there for my lunch duty or hall monitor duty?

            You need to find another parent who is willing to trade/sub for you; then both parties must notify the Service Hours Coordinator (email service@brazosvalleyco-op.com). If you don’t show up then there will be over 100 children without proper supervision.  You also have the option of paying a parent on our substitute list. 

What does the registration fee cover? 

          Cost of web site, any mailings, printing costs, building upkeep, cleaning fees.

Some months only have 3 co-op classes and other months have 4 or 5 classes.  Do I still have to pay the same amount each month? 

           Yes. Class fees are based on yearly prices, which are broken down into monthly payments as a convenience to the parents.  Please read our complete payment policy.

Will co-op classes be cancelled if there is bad weather?

            Our co-op follows Midway ISD closures.  If Midway ISD is closed or has a late start then we will not have co-op classes that day.  Teachers will not refund any fees for classes cancelled due to weather.  We will post a message on the web site by 8:00 AM.  Please check the web site before phoning committee members.

What if my child leaves something at co-op?

            There is a co-op lost and found box which will be kept in the AV room at Fellowship.  Any found items will be placed there.  Fellowship donates left items monthly so please check the Lost and Found often. 

My child has special needs.  Can I still register him for classes?

            Please contact the teacher before you register.  You and the teacher can discuss whether your child will be able to take the class.  It may be that the parent needs to stay with the child during class.

Why do I have to pay a deposit for each class?

            Your deposit is needed by the teacher to guarantee your spot in the class, to buy supplies needed and make plans for a certain number of students.

Can I send a cell phone with my child so I can reach him?

             Children may have cell phones with them but they are not to be used during any class, including study hall.  If cell phones ring or are used during class, they will be taken by the teacher and returned at the end of class.

What about other electronic devices?

             The best place for all electronic devices is at home.  Children are less distracted during class and can have more social interaction between classes and at lunch if they don't have these devices.
