FAQs



Q:

Can I drop off my child at Logos?

A:

Logos is a true co-op in the sense that parents are responsible for their children throughout the day.  Parents must be on the co-op property with their children at all times, in addition to serving in volunteer positions throughout the day.

Q:

Do we need to come for the entire day?

A:

Logos families can choose to participate for a full day of co-op or half a day.  If a family chooses the half day options they may choose the morning or afternoon, but must include assembly time in their day.  All of our families are required to participate in assembly.

Q:

Do I have to teach?

A:

No.  First year families are not allowed to teach at Logos.  If you are a returning family and would like to teach a class please submit your class idea during our class proposal submission time.  While you are not required to teach you will be required to fill a support roll while your family is at Logos.  These roles include: teacher's aide, hall monitor, bathroom monitor, committee leader or support, etc.

Q:

Is there a kitchen we can use for lunch?

A:

The kitchens may not be used by Logos families.  They are strictly for class use.

Q:

When can we join Logos?

A:

We have a membership enrollment period once a year in April, followed by our class registration period in May.  Once our current members have had a chance to enroll in classes, we will open up registration based on a first come first served basis.  If it is not the enrollment period but you are interested in joining our co-op send us an email or click the join link to tell us about your family.  We will contact you if we have availability.

Q:

Is assembly optional?

A:

No. Assemly is at the heart of our co-oop.  It is when all of the families of Logos gather together for worship and fellowship.

Q:

What is the purpose of the $200 refundable deposit?

A:

The $200 deposit is a way to communicate the commitment we expect from our members.  While some co-ops charge a membership fee of $200 or more we wanted to keep our membership fee low while still communicating that this is a serious commitment for your family.  The $200 will be refunded to you if all of your service responsibilities are met and your family does not exceed the 5 absences allowed.  If your family exceeds the 5 week limit then $25 will be deducted from the $200 total for each additional absence.  

Once the $200 deposit fund is depleted your family is subject to disciplinary action and will not be allowed to return to Logos the following year.

If a family must withdraw from Logos at any time, including before the year begins, the deposit may be refunded only in the case of a newly diagnosed medical condition or a change in your health status. Your withdrawal notice (email to Logos) must include a doctor’s note stating that you cannot fulfill the requirements of Logos participation because of said medical condition.

Q:

What if I have to miss half the day?

A:

Missing half a day will count as half of an absence.

Q:

Can I register my student for a class that is for a different grade level then the one they are currently in?  (example: The child is 12 and in 7th grade but is interested in the 4-6th grade classes)

A:

Yes and No.

If a child meets the age cutoff date of September 1st for the grade they want to register for then they are eligible to register for a different grade level class.  However, if the class fills up and has a waitlist then preference is given to the student that is in the correct grade level for that class and the student in the grade will be bumped out of that class.
