Parent Participation
Coram Deo is an entirely volunteer-run organization. Classes would not flow efficiently or effectively without plenty of help. Parents are an essential support to this system. Parents may volunteer to teach classes or provide support in a volunteer position. We require every family to sign up one parent for volunteer duties during the year. Options include: teaching a class, morning float/class aide, afternoon float/class aide, morning nursery worker, afternoon nursery worker, lunch/recess monitor, set-up and/or clean-up crew. We also have some off-campus positions that are year-long commitments: volunteer organizer, event coordinator, and aide to the board. Coram Deo is blessed to have dedicated board members, teachers, and parent volunteers.
In addition to on-site volunteering on Mondays, parents are responsible for helping students complete their assigned work Tuesday-Friday, outside of class. While Coram Deo comes alongside parents to support and equip, it in no way replaces the role of parents as the primary educator. All homework prepares students for in class learning, projects, presentations, and group activities and requires the guidance, care, and support of parents at home. Our work on Mondays does not, and cannot replace the responsibility of parents overseeing their child's education.
All parents are required to attend a Parent Orientation prior to the start of the school year. Additionally, all teachers are required to attend Teacher Orientation.
