In addition to paying tuition for classes, the following activities are required for each family whose child attends Triangle Cooperative Preschool.
Classroom Assist Days
Members assist the teacher in the classroom for their child’s entire school day, arriving 15 minutes early to help with set-up and staying approximately 30 minutes after school to help with clean-up.
Depending on enrollment days, per semester assist days are about:
2-day week – parent assist is about 7 days
3-day week – parent assist is about 13 days
4-day week – parent assist is about 16 days
Maintenance
Members assume responsibility for their share of school maintenance. This includes a maximum of three Friday or Sunday clean-up sessions per year for each family. In addition, participation is expected at one major clean-up session per year.
School Job
Each family will have a job (for example: newsletter editor, playground maintenance, librarian, or field trip coordinator) that will contribute to the operation of the school. Every effort is made to match the requirements of a job with the interests and skills of the member.
Meetings
Members are required to attend all General Meetings. There are three per year, generally held in person.
Fundraising
Members are expected to be involved with the school’s fundraising. These events are decided on yearly by parent members and the board.
Children and parents work and learn together.
