Grace Home Schoolers - Slogan Here!

Joining a new group can at times be confusing — knowing what you will receive,
and what you are asked to do for the group. We hope that you will consider
joining us! Please remember that all positions are volunteer.

Grace Home Schoolers (GHS) overview
Grace Home Schoolers (GHS) is overseen by a group of mothers, called the
Steering Committee. The Steering Committee is responsible for overseeing all programs within GHS, including Creative Learning Days and the GHS Enrichment
Program. Joining GHS includes membership in the state homeschooling group, the
Florida Parent Teacher’s Association (FPEA), and covers costs for most
activities throughout the year, except field trips and a few other optional
activities.

Each family who joins will receive a newsletter (via email) that has activities
and information for that month. There are various fairs (science,
biography/history, geography), Fine Arts Nights, Presidential Physical Fitness
day, field trips, plays, graduation/promotion ceremonies, picnics, etc.

Your obligation to the group is to volunteer at one of these activities, and
help with set-up, clean-up, and in-between during the event, as needed.

Classes meet weekly on Fridays, except the 4th Friday of each month, and
holidays, Christmas break, and Good Friday. There is an additional cost to
participate in CLD.

Your obligation is to help in some capacity, whether setting up each week,
teaching, assisting, providing childcare for younger children, cleaning, etc.
We want to accommodate all families, and if you have special concerns or needs,
please speak to a member of the Sisterboard.

Classes meet weekly on Fridays, except the 4th Friday of each month, and
holidays, Christmas break, and Good Friday. There is an additional cost to
participate in Friday Classes. Please remember that while we use the term
“class” we are not a school, but rather provide enrichment for the education
being directed by the parent. There are additional costs involved, which vary
according to which classes are chosen.

Your obligation varies, depending on how you help during the year, as follows:

• If you teach a class, or assist with a class, the registration fee is waived,
  and your child(ren) has/have priority in registration.
• If you volunteer to help with study hall or help clean after class, your
  registration fee is waived, and you have priority (after teachers/assistants)
  in registering.
• All families (except teachers and helpers) are asked to provide lunch for the
  teachers and helpers who are there every week once or twice during the school
  year (depending on number of families participating).
