Hi all,
I hope your school year is going well and that you're enjoying those last few days of Indian summer weather. Errr.... well, the weather appears to have changed now. It's feeling a little more like school time. LIGHT's co-op is coming together nicely and we're ready to announce the class schedule and registration information. The fall term of classes will run from October 14 through December 9. Registration is at Garden Way Church, 10am this Friday, September 30. If you can not make it to registration day, it is highly recommended to send someone in your place, to walk through the process for you. This can be anyone, your husband, grandma, neighbor, friend, stranger you meet on the street... :-) But seriously, this is the best way to do it if you can't do it yourself on that day.
Registration is done on a first come, first served basis so we STRONGLY recommend arriving at the church with completed forms in hand. There will be additional copies available onsite, but classes will fill while you are completing them.
Our main website for the Eugene First Class Christian Homeschool Co-op (EFC for short) is located at www.fchm.org Read down the left sidebar to Co-ops, select Co-op Locations and then scroll down to find Eugene First Class under Oregon. There is also a link on the sidebar here on the LIGHT website. On our welcome page you will find links to become a member of First Class Homeschool Ministries, the national organization this co-op falls under. It gives instructions to pay a $25 fee for your family, for the whole year. This membership must be completed before you can register for classes and is best done at home before registration day. When you have done this, we will email more specific instructions for registration day including all of the necessary forms which are also available on that same welcome page. This includes forms for local co-op membership, class registration and background check for all parents who will be onsite during co-op hours. NOTE: for printing out the class registration form, page four of the document is for the parent's schedule. Don't miss that page if you don't need pages 2 and 3 for children. Payment for our local chapter fees ($25 per family, per year) and classes can all be paid at registration. We don't want money to preclude anyone from participating. If you will need a scholarship, please contact Dani Foster at lighthomeschooling@gmail.com before registration day if possible.
