Due to circumstances, some moms are unable to join the co-op this year. Many of these moms had classes they were scheduled to teach. In total we have had to cancel 5 of the original 15 classes. (We have a total of 10 classes now) Because of this change we have rearranged the schedule to have 2 class periods with 5 class options per period. We can to keep class sizes small, with 10 students or less for most classes. This also changes the time we will meet. We will still arrive at 10 AM but classes will be completed by 12:30 PM instead of 2:30PM

It's time for all teachers to find a co-teacher. All classes are required to have a CoTeacher, even if they are only a stand-by in case the primary teacher is absent. Before finding a co-teacher please look over the class schedule to know if you’re teaching that period or if you’re already a co-teacher. You may, of course, post on our page that your class needs a co-teacher. Or post on the co-op page/ message the individual teaching the class you’d like to help with. Primary Teachers : Be sure to message Brandie Waldrop, or email ( homescholarsoftheupstate@gmail.com ) with whom your co-teacher is. We’ll need this information by August 1, 2017.
