Responsibilities & Expectations

Failure to comply with these policies will jeopardize your privilege to participate in this co-op. The Legacy board reserves the right to deny participation to any family or student.

Parental Responsibilities and Expectations:

1.   Dropping off your children or sending them with another Legacy family is not allowed. You are required to stay at Legacy Homeschool Center with your children every Thursday. Sitting in your car during Legacy hours is not allowed.

2.   Remain within the designated co-op boundaries of the church. DO NOT use areas of the church that OCC has not invited Legacy to use. EMPTY CLASSROOMS, THE GYM, THE CHAPEL, THIRD FLOOR, AND STAIRWELLS ARE OFF LIMITS, unless you are in class, traveling to or from class, or exiting the building in the case of an emergency.

3.   You will be assigned a janitorial, setup, cleanup/restoration, monitoring, or facilitating job. Families with students enrolled in classes at the beginning or end of the day need to plan on helping with setup or restoration. If you are assigned a restoration job at the end of the day, please understand that your responsibilities may extend past the end of class time.

Each week, you are responsible to do your job, as well as be available and willing to help out in other areas when needed. If you are unable to fulfill your assigned job due to an absence, it is YOUR responsibility to find a replacement so that your job will be completed. You will be contacted, prior to classes starting, concerning your job.

6.   In order for your child to get the maximum benefit out of their classes, please plan to attend class with them as often as possible. It is critical that arrangements be made for siblings not enrolled in class. Siblings will not be allowed to attend classes in which they are not registered and will be asked to leave.
