Frequently Asked Questions

Is it expected that my student complete their weekly assignments?

In 7th-12th grades, weekly assignments are expected to be completed and turned in to the co-op teacher during class. Our writing coaches work diligently to give feedback on all assignments during the co-op day with the aim to have the assignments returned to the families by the end of the day.

In 1st-6th grade, in keeping with our Educational Responsibilities, the co-op teacher gives suggested activities weekly to allow the student to work with their home-teacher in continuing the learning at home. These activities are not required, but highly encouraged.

Will the co-op teacher assign my student a grade on their writing assignment?

In keeping with our Educational Responsibilities, co-op teachers and readers/writing coaches only provide constructive and encouraging feedback, but do not assign grades. If a home-teacher would like assistance in assigning a grade to their student's writing, the co-op teacher is happy to help with suggestions.
