PARENT PARTICIPATION (COMMITMENT) 
Our school was organized in 1953 as an adult education co-operative
school by a group of mothers who wanted a formal socialization experience
for their children. They also wanted to be involved in that experience. You Make the Difference We feel that parental involvement is important because it keeps you in touch with your child's first formal educational experience. It provides an opportunity for you to be informed about your child’s social development and pre-school experience and to learn some valuable parenting and educational techniques. Participation in a co-operative also provides parents an opportunity to be involved in policy making and the development of a school philosophy if they so choose. PARENTS' RESPONSIBILITIES • You are required to attend all monthly General Membership Meetings, which are held the first Tuesday of each month (October thru May), plus an Orientation meeting held prior to the beginning of the school year. • You are required to participate in the pre-school program by volunteering one day a week in your child's class (3 Hours). • You are required to participate in one Maintenance Day each school year. • You are required to attend one Workshop each school year. • You are required to do one Observation each school year. • You are required to finish the school year with 3 Extra Hours of volunteer time. • Families must participate in the Fundraising efforts
as outlined in the • We also encourage our parents to participate by accepting an Appointive Board position or Executive Board position.
