General Policies & Information

Information Center

There will be an information table in front of the Chapel with a mailbox folder for every co-op family. A bulletin board for class openings and general Legacy information will also be posted nearby. Please check this area weekly for any updates and news concerning Legacy Homeschool Center.

Bulletin Board Policy/Disclaimer

The bulletin board is available for notification and communication of homeschool information among co-op participants. Items included on the bulletin board do not necessarily constitute co-op board endorsement or promotion. As a non-profit organization, we are prohibited by law from the “carrying on of propaganda, or otherwise attempting to influence legislation,” neither shall we “participate in, or intervene in (including the publishing or distribution of statements) any political campaign on behalf of any candidate for public office.”

Mailbox Policy

Mailboxes are a convenience for co-op participants to communicate co-op related information and to distribute tuition checks and other approved literature. Mailboxes are not to be used for solicitation. Please check with the Board before distribution of material via the mailboxes. Legacy Homeschool Center is not responsible for the loss of any property distributed through or left in mailboxes. Each mailbox will contain a current family schedule (parent maintained) to assist in locating parents/students as needed.

Emergency Procedures

In case of a fire, alarms will sound and all children should be evacuated along assigned routes to safe areas away from the building. Keep children as calm and quiet as possible. Move quickly, but do not run or allow children to run. All exits are clearly marked, and emergency exit routes are shown on wall maps in each room. All classes need to remain together with their teacher and facilitator. An OCC staff member will notify teachers and facilitators when it is safe to re-enter the building. Should we be unable to enter the building again, teachers and facilitators will need to remain with their classes until parents locate their children. In the event of an earthquake, everyone should immediately go under a table and assume the duck and cover position. It is important that you stay away from any windows and remain in the room until given further instructions. *In the event of a non-evacuation emergency, please listen for complete instructions. We will have unannounced emergency drills throughout the year.

Hall Passes

In order to adequately account for each student during an emergency, Legacy requires that all students, if they are unaccompanied by a parent, remain in class or study hall unless a hall pass has been issued from one of these locations.

Lunch

NW1 is the designated area for lunch. We encourage each family to eat together. Each parent is responsible to make sure his/her children clean up after themselves.

Winter Weather Closure Policy

In case of inclement weather, closure information will be posted on the home page of this web site.

Class Cancellations

Classes may be cancelled at any time at the Board's discretion. If class is cancelled due to teacher's absence, children may be sent to the study hall. In the event of class cancellation/teacher absence, reasonable effort will be made to notify parents prior to class time. Teachers work many hours outside the classroom; therefore, if class(es) are cancelled, tuition will not be refunded.

Emergency Contact

We are independent of the church’s operation and ask that you not call OCC regarding co-op matters. Please address all inquiries to Board members.
