Parental Obligations

Each family is responsible for:
  • Co-oping once every two weeks
  • A job that contributes to the operation of the school
  • 3 school clean-ups per year
  • Attending membership meetings

Co-oping Requirements:
  • Two's Class: Co-op 1 day every other week or as required to maintain a 1:3 adult/child ratio.
  • Three's Class: Co-op 1 day every other week or as required to maintain a 1:4 adult/child ratio.
  • Four's Class: Co-op 1 day every other week or as required to maintain a 1:4 adult/child ratio.

Snacks & Lunch:
  • Parents supply snacks and juice for the class on a regular basis. Paper supplies are purchased by the school. Children in the 3’s and 4’s classes bring lunch from home; parents include a beverage, and the Health Department recommends milk.
  • SSNS is a nut-free school. Please do not pack nuts or packaged products that contain nuts or nut extracts in your child's lunches or snacks. A number of children enrolled at SSNS have severe allergies to nuts.

Field Trips:
Parents co-oping when a field trip is scheduled are expected to drive a group of children. Additional drivers are also needed. We expect families to volunteer for this on an occasional basis.
