Home Programs Resources Parent Involvement Contact
Being a cooperative nursery school, Hopedale parents are involved
in all aspects of the school. All families are expected to take turns
helping in the classroom as the "duty parent" as well as serve on either
the executive or a committee. In addition, member families contribute
to the maintenance of the classroom.
"Duty days" are an opportunity to be a part of your child's
preschool experience. By helping the supervisor with crafts and snacks,
you get to contribute to the school while observing the program in
action. Whatever your training, you will find these days fun and
rewarding! Getting to know all the children and all the families in
your child's class are valuable bonuses of a co-op school. And your
child's excitement when it's your duty day make it even more special.
Generally, parents will be required to help in the classroom about once
a month.
All families are also required to fill some role in the school's
executive or on a committee. This can be anything from co-president
to outdoor maintenance to guinea pig keeper. We all contribute to making
our school a great place for our kids.
