Co-op classes last 28 weeks from September 2007 through April 2008. Please carefully consider your commitment when registering your child for co-op classes.
The end of the co-op day on September 21, 2007 is the last day to remove your child from a class without a drop fee penalty. Please note that the class deposit paid at registration is non-refundable. Please be considerate of the teachers and other students, and do not sign up for classes until you are almost positive to continue them throughout the year.
There will be a $30 drop fee per child, per class. Failure to pay these drop fees will result in forfeiture of the right to register for classes in the future until all accounts are current. It is not enough to simply inform a teacher that your student will be dropping a class. You must also contact the Co-op Registrar. (registrar@brazosvalleyco-op.com) You can download the Drop/Add/Change Form here or pick one up from co-op. They are kept in the green notebook.
If a class is cancelled by co-op for any reason, the deposit for that class will be refunded. If you register for only one class and that class is cancelled, then your registration fee will be refunded.
Tuition is based on the total cost of the class for the year and may be paid yearly, by semester, or by month. The semester payments are due the first day of class in September and the first day of class in January. The monthly payments are due the first class of each month. These monthly payments do not reflect the number of times the class meets in any particular month; they are installments for the year.
Tuition is paid directly to each teacher on the first class day of each month. In April, no payment will be due since you have already paid for that month with your deposit. It is usually easier to pay teachers by check. If you prefer to pay by cash, please put it in an envelope with your child’s name on the outside. Some teachers offer a discount if you pay by semester. Check each individual class description.
- If you pay
by semester, in January you will need to subtract the amount of your
class deposit from the semester payment.
- For example. Your child is registered for Sciencewise. When you registered, you paid a $20.00 deposit for the class. The cost if you pay by semester is $70.00. So in September you pay $70.00 for the fall semester. Then in January you pay only $50.00. That’s the $70.00 semester payment less the $20.00 deposit you paid at registration.
If for any reason your child cannot be in class one day, do not expect the teacher to give you credit for the class. Teachers spend time preparing and are present teaching whether you are there or not. If we need to cancel co-op classes because of bad weather, there will be no refunds for that day.
If a teacher is absent without a substitute teacher present, the parent may subtract an amount for their payment based on the yearly scale. Please check with the teacher for the correct amount. Remember, class prices are based on yearly amounts divided by the number of classes in a year. Monthly payments are installments as a convenience to the parents. If you have already paid for the semester, the teacher will give you a refund.

Fees
A Non-refundable registration fee is required at the time of registration. This fee covers our costs to maintain the web site, to print forms, for cleaning and for building use. To simplify the registration process we have combined all the fees to one lump sum
- $40.00 for one child
- $55.00 for two children
You will also be required to pay a deposit for each class at registration. This deposit will essentially be your last month’s tuition for that class.
You will need to write a check to each teacher for this deposit. This deposit is non-refundable, as teachers need this commitment to buy supplies and plan for their classes.
There will be a $30 drop fee per child, per class. Failure to pay these drop fees will result in forfeiture of the right to register for classes in the future until all accounts are current. It is not enough to simply inform a teacher that your student will be dropping a class. You must also contact the Co-op Registrar. (registrar@brazosvalleyco-op.com)
