BVC Pre-Registration Steps
Step 1:
- Pay the $225 registration fee via Zelle or a check made payable to Brazos Valley Co-op.
- Please include, with your registration fee, $10/per child (for the year) if you would like them to stay for the lunch hour. This pays our full time lunch monitors.
- Zelle address: co-opcommittee@brazosvalleyco-op.com
- BVC mailing address: Brazos Valley Co-op, PO Box #9131, Waco, TX 76714
- Your registration will be forfeited if the check is not received within five days.
Step 2:
- Email us at co-opcommittee@brazosvalleyco-op.com to alert us that you have paid the fee via Zelle or dropped it in the mail.
- Please include your name and your student’s name in the email.
Step 3:
- Sign up for parent duty hours at bvc.ivolunteer.com.
- Sign up for one four-hour duty slot and two one-hour duty slots.
- Remember, parent duty must be split as evenly as possible between the fall and spring semester, and you cannot sign up for two slots in one day. If all four-hour duty slots are full, you must sign up for six one-hour duty slots.
- If your student is only enrolled in pre-k, you will sign up for only three parent duty hours.
Step 4:
- Complete the 2025-2026 BVC Family Application.
- There is room on this form to enroll 5 children. If more space is needed, please email us at co-opcommittee@brazosvalleyco-op.com.
- IMPORTANT: Be sure to use the same email address for your iVolunteer account, your family application, and your account on the registration portal!
After a BVC representative has reviewed your profile and confirmed that you have no outstanding balances or holds on your account, you will receive an email including the following:
- Your approval to register
- The link to your online registration portal
- Further information regarding the online registration process.
Important Notes:
- You will not receive your registration link immediately. It takes a bit of time to review your entire profile, so it could be several hours before your registration email is sent. Please do not email us to ask about timing, as that only slows down the process.
- Enrollment is not final or complete until references are checked by the BVC committee. If registration is denied, all fees and deposits will be refunded. All previous schools will be contacted as references and for input into character and behavior, as well.
Check the list of FULL CLASSES carefully before registering. All fees are non-refundable, so be sure there is space available before you send the $225 registration fee. NOTE: We do recommend you register for a class even if it is not your first choice because as a registered family, you will be able to register first next year.
ALL BVC MEMBERS MUST SIGN THEIR AGREEMENT WITH OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY BEFORE JOINING BRAZOS VALLEY CO-OP:
- We believe the Holy Bible, both Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God, without error, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of man, and the Divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life.
- We believe in one infinite, true God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Having lived without sin, He truly died and was resurrected in His own body for our atonement and resurrection.
- We believe that only through His death, by the shedding of His blood, and His resurrection are we provided justification and salvation.
- We believe in the bodily resurrection of all mankind; for the believer to an everlasting dwelling with God, for the unbeliever to an everlasting, conscious hell without God.
- We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, to convict men of sin, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service.
- We believe that God created mankind in His image: male (man) and female (woman). We believe God has ordained and created marriage to exist between one man and one woman, with absolute marital fidelity. The Bible sets forth specific home and family values, which include the distinct roles of husbands and wives, fathers and mothers, and children. It is our firm conviction that we uphold the dignity of each individual as we embrace the unchanging and long standing principles of scriptural truth.
- We believe in the imminent, bodily return of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Students promoting or participating in lifestyles, choices, or habits contrary to the BVC statement of faith will be dismissed. This applies to all students whether this conduct occurs inside or outside of co-op hours.

Why use Zelle?
Zelle® is a peer-to-peer (P2P) money transfer app that allows users to move funds from one bank account to another. More than 1,700 banks include Zelle® on their website or within their mobile banking application. Unlike many money transfer apps such as Venmo, PayPal, and Cash App, Zelle does not charge an extra fee for sending or receiving payments, and there is no need to transfer funds, as they are immediately deposited into the bank account. Zelle is also far more secure than other popular P2P payment platforms.
Although Zelle is perfect for our use, it does have some idiosyncrasies which you need to understand. We have attempted to simplify these explanations in the most concise way. You can always contact your local bank (or ask us) if you have further questions.
- The easiest way to access Zelle is through your bank’s website or mobile app. NOTE: some banks offer Zelle features through the website and app. Some banks only offer Zelle through the mobile app. Banks differ in this approach, so you will need to find out the details on your bank’s website.
- Regarding the BVC fee payment: your bank must offer Zelle in order to pay BVC using this platform. Zelle business accounts only accept payments through your bank’s app with Zelle. If your bank does not offer Zelle, you will have to pay the fee with a check through the mail.
- Many of the teachers now prefer Zelle. If your bank offers Zelle, utilize the bank app to pay teachers. You can find your teachers’ preferred payment method on each class description and under the “forms” tab.
