Your participation in the Portland Nursery School cooperative program will enhance the relationship you have with your child and reinforce your message about the value of school. As a cooperative parent you are encouraged to share your talents in the classroom. Join a warm and welcoming environment where you can be with your child as you both learn and grow. We are delighted when parents offer to teach a foreign language, share their music, play sports, or even facilitate a cooking class. This is not a mandatory requirement, the coop offers many opportunities for you to help out. Parental involvement is essential to making a cooperative environment successful. It's a great opportunity to share in your child's experience and to meet fantastic people. The following things are required. 1) A parent is required to work in the classroom, assisting the teacher, approximately once every second week. This is so much fun and a chance to meet your child's friends and see how they interact. 2) A parent is required to attend a monthly meeting in order to be up to date with the administration of the school and to have some input in the month’s activities. 3) Each family is required to help chaperone some of our exciting field trips. This, again, is fun and a tremendous chance to see your child in action. 4) Each family is required to assume a position within the school. These jobs are simple and generally administrative in nature. They do not take up a lot of time, but their value is immeasurable.
