School Committee Assignments

Office Duty:  The chair of this committee schedules families to answer the phone in the Co-op office and handle office business between 9 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Failure to fulfill assigned Office Duty may result in a substantial fine because it is crucial to the school’s functioning that the office be covered on these days.  Members may exchange dates of service.

Maintenance:  Members are responsible for the ongoing cleaning and maintenance of the playground, large muscle room, and school grounds.  The chair of this committee will work with the Director and the Church Representative to ensure that all matters of maintenance are taken care of.

Work Parties:  One Work Party is held on a Saturday in September, the other in March, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.  Each family on this committee is responsible for doing four hours of work; parents in a family may divide the work as they wish.  If a family does not attend or make arrangements for four hours of work at another time, a $100 fee will be assessed.   The purpose of Work Parties is to organize, repair, and clean various school items both indoor and outdoor.  Chairpersons organize, with the Director, the work to be done, contact all workers, record who attends, report attendance to the Director, gather and purchase tools and supplies, and set up before and clean up after the Work Party.
