Who can join?
We are a Christian homeschool co-op and, as such, we are designed to support Christian homeschool families who believe the biblical principles laid out on our Home page and are actively involved in a local church.
We do understand not everyone will believe the same things within a family (sometimes even a parent won’t be on the same page), however there should be at least one parent pursuing Christ and striving to raise their children in the Lord.
We also understand that finding a church can be a time-consuming process and a family maybe in the midst of that search. That’s completely understandable, however finding a good church and getting plugged in should be the goal.
Fees
Family Enrollment Fee
$200 for the year for the whole family.
This can be split into two $100 per semester payments
Fall Enrollment fee must be paid no later than 1 Aug
Spring Enrollment fee must be paid no later than 1 Feb
Late payment will incur a $25 late fee
This also secures your enrollment in Grounded.
Class Fees
1 hour class = $30 per month
1.5 hour class = $45 per month
Class fees are paid directly to the teacher on the first Monday of the month. Payment maintains enrollment in the class.
Some classes also have supply fees. These are listed on the class description page and are due the first Monday of the semester.
Behavior Expectations & Dress
Because the focus at Grounded is on honoring the Lord, the behavior of every individual should reflect this. Students should be respectful of themselves and others in their speech, behavior, and dress, remembering we are each image bearers of God.
Speech should reflect Ephesians 4:29, “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.”
Behavior should be respectful and reflect a desire to “consider others as more important than yourself” as we’re called to in Philippians 2:3.
Dress should reflect I Corinthians 6:19-20, “Or do you not know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.” As such dress should be modest, respecting ourselves and those around us. If wearing leggings, tops should be at least fingertip length. Shorts should also be at least fingertip length. If wearing a hoodie, shorts should be able to be seen under it.
Google Classroom?
We use Google Workspace for Education, including Google Classroom. Teachers post assignments, make up work, videos, or whatever they need to help your student stay on track and for you to know what they’re learning.
As the parent, you have FULL access to their account. We send all account information to you for you to set up for your student, regardless of age.
Since GroundedOk has its own registered Google Workspace, ONLY those with a Grounded email have access to our classrooms. A link cannot be sent to anyone to join.
Are you a drop-off co-op?
Elementary grades (K – 5th) are NOT a drop off. These lower grade levels require a parent to stay on site at all times as we are not equipped for managing young children outside of class without a parent. Parents are welcome anywhere their child is and we have the foyer set up with tables and chairs for families who are on the premises while their child is in class. Siblings are absolutely welcome to be here with their parent, but parents must keep line-of-sight on all children not in class. While playing is encouraged, children should not be yelling loudly or running in the church.
Well-behaved middle school and high school students can be dropped off. As long as they are not disruptive in study hall and can follow the rules, they’re good to go!
Service Hours
As part of participation at Grounded, every family is required to have one parent serve once a semester at a station of their choosing.
Service Hours primarily involve monitoring a hall, helping at the sign in table, or some cleaning. After enrollment is completed, a sign-up will be emailed out to choose service dates.
These service hours help us ensure student safety as well as help maintain a good relationship with our host church.
What do we need for class?
Parents are responsible to provide any textbook, materials, and/or supply fees listed on the class page. Most textbooks listed include a link for the parent to know exactly which book is necessary. The linked online storefront is NOT an endorsement of the business but is simply for reference. If you have any questions about what is needed, you can contact the instructor for clarification.
We’ll be gone for a few weeks.
Do we still need to pay for class?
Enjoy! We hope you have a wonderful time whatever you’re doing! However, parents are responsible for paying for any classes their student is enrolled in even if they are absent. Teachers are still providing educational opportunities for your student, whether your child attends or not.
Reach out to the teacher for any homework or classroom resources for the missing weeks. This is precisely the reason we have google classroom for each class!
We don’t want this class anymore!
We understand sometimes a class won’t be the best fit and that’s ok. You can withdraw from a class at any time. However, paid fees will not be refunded.
To drop a class, contact the teacher and Grounded Admin and we will remove the student from the roll sheet and update the Google Classroom.
If there is room available and the teacher has given their go-ahead, you can enroll your student in a different class. Depending on the class, make up work may need to be done.
Where can my student go between classes? Is there a Study Hall?
A study hall area is provided for all students and parents to work, eat lunch, or visit quietly.
Students 11 years old and younger must have a parent present and cannot be unattended in study hall. Students 12 years old and older do not require a parent present if they behave responsibly.
All Grounded families must stay in our Grounded areas of the church. These are easily identified and are pointed out during the interview.
What about bad weather?
We all live in Oklahoma. Do not drive in any conditions you do not feel comfortable in.
In the case of snow or other severe weather, an email will be sent out to announce classes have been cancelled. We also have a private Facebook group where we will announce it as well.
My kid is sick!
Stay home and get better! Please, do not bring your student if they have a fever, vomiting, or diarrhea within the last 24 hours.
Contact your teacher to inform them of your absence and to find out anything you may need to know about your class for that week.
What about lunch?
Lunch break is from 12pm – 12:30pm. Feel free to bring your own lunch. Lunch can be eaten in our study hall area in the gym. Food is not allowed in carpeted areas.
The gym has a microwave, coffee maker, and electric kettle for those who’d like to use them.
“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all things for the glory of God.”
-1 Corinthians 10:31
A kid is being disruptive!
At Grounded, we want everyone to have an enjoyable learning experience. Our students are here to learn, and our instructors are here to teach. There should be mutual respect between all our members, remembering we are all image bearers of the God who made us.
In the event, however, we have students who are struggling to be self-controlled, we want students, parents, and instructors to work together for a successful outcome for everyone. These are the steps we take to make this happen.
- Instructors will ensure class expectations are clearly outlined. Students are expected to respectfully follow these expectations.
- Instructors will attempt to redirect unwanted behavior. If the student persists, parents will be contacted. When necessary, the instructor may also report the instance to Grounded Admin.
- In the case a student continues to purposely disrupt class after the parents have been contacted, Grounded Admin will step in to try to resolve the issue. They will decide if any further disciplinary action is necessary. These actions may include but are not limited to verbal warning, written reprimand in file, removal from class, and possible dismissal from Grounded.
- Should the Grounded Admin make a decision that is undesirable to the student, the parent may appeal this decision after 14 days.
The goal of each of these steps is to create an environment for all students to learn without disruption. As such, Grounded Admin, parents and students will work together to find solutions that honor the Lord and are mutually beneficial for everyone.
Will you have a graduation ceremony?
We do have a graduation ceremony! Parents and students work together to put together a memorable and special event everyone can look back on with joy!
This ceremony is open to every senior who has participated in some capacity (classes, tutoring, teaching assistant, etc.) at Grounded during their senior year, though some exceptions have been made to allow students who have attended for several years who are in good standing, though not available on campus.
Sounds good! How do we join and enroll?
We are so excited to meet you! Head over to the Join Us page and
fill out the Family Form.
After the form, there’s a link to Calendly to set up an in-person interview.
After that, we’ll send you the link to the Student Enrollment Form to enroll your students! You’ll be able to look at the class schedule and pick out classes for your kiddos. Classes are on a first come, first served basis and enrollment is finalized only after the first semester enrollment fee is paid.
Student Enrollment Forms must be filled out prior to the first orientation date. Forms submitted afterwards will incur a $10 late fee per form. This includes for class changes. Please enroll your students before orientation to enable a smooth enrollment process and avoid the fee.
Once the Student Enrollment has been accepted, we’ll notify you via text when your student has been added to our Grounded Google workspace and added to their Google Classrooms.
