About Friday School:

*Classes are on Fridays.  

*Fall:  classes run for 10 weeks (generally end of September to beginning of December)

*Spring:  classes run for 10 weeks (generally end of February to beginning of May)

*We have classes for Nursery thru 12th grade. Nursery through Kindergarten classes meet in their own age specific classrooms.  Older classes are in four age groups 1st-3rd, 4th-6th, 7th-8th and 9th-12th grades.

*Everyone over the age of 18 must fill out a background check form.  Age 18 students included.

*Student Guests in classes are not allowed.  (Parent/Grandparent guests need to check in at the Welcome Desk.)      A good rule of thumb is that if the child is not registered for classes at Friday School, please do not bring them.  This goes for friends, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, your own unregistered child(ren) etc.  Unregistered children will not be allowed to attend classes.  

*Everyone must be registered for all three classes in order to be on campus.  We only make exceptions for Running Start students.

Any questions?  Please contact our Friday School Coordinator at fridayschoolcoordinator@gmail.com.

​

*Kindergarteners:  Kindergarteners MUST be age 5 by September 1st of Fall term.  No exceptions.  If they are not age 5 by September 1st, they will be put into PreK.  Yes, we do check all Kindergarteners to make sure that they are in age appropriate classes!

 

*First Graders:  First Graders MUST be age 6 by September 1st of Fall term.  No exceptions.  If they are not 6 by September 1st, they will be put into Kindergarten.  Yes, we do check all 1st graders to make sure that they are in age appropriate classes!

Parental Involvement:

*A parent or guardian must be on campus all 3 blocks.  

*We are NOT a drop off program!

*During the 3 blocks, it is mandatory that mom (or parent/guardian in attendance) "assists" in 2 blocks and then the third block is your "coffee corner" hour, on campus to chat with other moms.  We are a co-op, so everyone is needed to help.  (We have a snack potluck during Coffee Corner :D)

​

The Guardianship Policy in the Parent Handbook is as follows:

If an emergency arises, and you are not able to attend Friday School, your child(ren) may attend in your absence as long as you meet the following two requirements:

1. You must provide a guardian who is able & willing to fill in for you in your assistant spot, someone who is NOT already attending Friday School.  (See our No Drop Off Policy in our Parent Handbook).

2.  You must turn in the Guardianship Form to the Friday School Coordinator at Friday School.

Guardianship forms are meant to help as a one time occurrence for emergency purposes only, and are not meant to be week to week, for appointment or errands.  We are no longer going to be accepting handing the guardianship of your child(ren) over to another fellow Friday School mom without a suitable replacement for yourself.  Please run any specific questions about this policy by Tina Ruble.  If you cannot meet both of the above requirements, please leave your child(ren) at home that particular Friday School day.  Questions? Please contact Tina Ruble.
