Parent Participation Policy

Parents are expected to participate in the operation of the school by completing tasks that are directly related to the school program or the school grounds or that provide professional expertise in support of the same. We expect this commitment to equal approximately 35 hours per year. Parents may choose a variety of tasks and several tasks may be shared, as long as you complete the total commitment.  Five hours are required from each family for our annual auction.

Parents may opt to pay an extra $30.00 per tuition payment in place of participating as a volunteer, although this is not encouraged.

There are descriptions of the Board of Directors and other parent participation tasks in order for you to make an informed decision.

If you need more information about the various tasks, please talk to our Parent Participation Coordinator, or the director. You are encouraged to contact the Parent Participation Coordinator as soon as possible to indicate your preferences as some jobs may already be assigned.The Parent Participation Coordinator will begin calling parents for their job preference in July.  We would like all jobs assigned by August 1.

The Parent Participation Coordinator will contact parents during the year if the parent participation tasks are not being adequately completed. Parents who fail to complete their task(s) will be assessed the "in lieu" participation fee of $30 per month or $300 per year.

Work Days will be scheduled as needed, typically once in early Fall and once in Spring. Each family is expected to participate in at least one Work Day, which is a contribution of support that is counted as a part of parent participation.

Thank you for your help in fullfilling our vision of being a cooperative school by donating your time to Redbud Montessori.
