fellowship with a local body of believers as active church members. Prospective members who are not currently members of a local
church, please describe your current situation in a separate email or conversation with our registrar. 14. What local church is your family currently attending?

All members of CHEB are expected to serve our community by serving on a committee or chaperoning activities and events throughout our co-op year.

Parents of elementary students who are not teaching will be assigned positions as rotating class assistants. Parents of middle and high school students who are not teaching will be required to serve morning or afternoon shifts at the CHEB sign-in desk 3-4 times per semester. Parents who volunteer for morning shifts will help with set up at 8:30 and sit at the desk through 12:30.

Introduction: This Parent Agreement outlines the expectations and responsibilities of both CHEB and our members for the successful academic and spiritual growth of students. By enrolling your child at CHEB, you agree to uphold these standards and work in partnership with us to provide a nurturing, Christian environment.

18. Elementary Parent Expectations:

Parental involvement is vital for our classes to run smoothly and important in creating a strong community.

Volunteer Requirements: Parents of elementary school students are expected to volunteer every Monday. These duties may include, but are not limited to setting up classrooms, cleaning up spaces that we use in the church, teaching classes, and volunteering to assist in the classroom. This may be performed by either parent or by another adult family member such as a grandparent. Families who do not complete their volunteer responsibilities may not be eligible for membership the following year or may be dismissed from CHEB.

Arrival: Parents are expected to arrive on time for our opening ceremony. Parents are also required to stay for the opening and announcements. Parents may leave once students have been dismissed to their classes, unless they are scheduled to volunteer.

Tardiness: Habitual tardiness or tardiness that affects classroom participation is unacceptable and will be counted as an absence. A tardy will be counted if a family is later than 10 minutes after classes begin. After 3 tardies, this will be counted as 1 absence.

Attendance: Attendance is expected each week. We understand that there will be times that you have to miss due to vacations, family emergencies, or sickness. You must contact the Elementary Coordinator and make them aware of any absence in a timely manner. If you miss five or more times during the semester, you will lose your student's enrollment for the following semester and will go to the bottom of the waitlist.

Communication: Parents agree to check emails from CHEB teachers and administrators and respond as necessary in a timely manner. Parents must be available by phone if not staying on campus. Parents will keep CHEB updated in writing on any email, address, phone, or medical changes promptly. Parents will inform the Elementary Coordinator if another family member is dropping off or picking up their student on a given day.

Support for School Policies: Parents understand that by enrolling their child they agree to uphold and support the policies and procedures set forth by CHEB.

Student Code of Conduct: Parents agree to help their child uphold the student code of conduct. Conduct both in and out of class may be considered in determining continued participation in the program

Families who do not complete their volunteer responsibilities may not be allowed to register for classes the following year.

Parent-Teacher Conferences: Parents will attend any requested meetings to stay informed about their child’s progress and to collaborate with teachers on any concerns.

Class Materials, Internet, and Books: Students must have reliable internet and printer capabilities throughout the year.
