Below are a few policies that you as parent(s) of a child participating in PVCC’s tutoring programs, must read, understand, and agree to honor and abide by the Policies of PVCC prior to your child starting their first day of classes.
PVCC is a homeschool cooperative tutoring service. This model is successful when parents and PVCC partner together to make education meaningful for each student. This policy is in place to outline the responsibilities of our families when enrolled at PVCC.
Homeschooling Responsibility:
For a student to be considered homeschooled, the student must derive at least 51% of his education from an adult family member and/or legal guardian at home or from a parent-delegated homeschool tutor. Homeschooling can consist of any activity the parent deems as part of the child’s homeschool curriculum including activities, online education, projects, etc. Since homeschooling is daily discipleship by the parents, at least one parent must be present and supervise the student’s work in the afternoons and on non-PVCC days. If your child participates in an elective on Wednesdays, that class is not considered “PVCC tutoring services” because the elective tutors are being paid directly and are not included in PVCC tuition.
Thursday/Friday Parent Partnership
PVCC strives to give you as much time on Thursday and Friday as we can to introduce to your child the activities and curriculum you would like to use to personalize your homeschooling experience. However, PVCC lesson plans will include assignments on those days that must be completed by your child to ensure seamless re-entry back into the classroom on Monday mornings. When Thursday and Friday work is not done, the classroom is stalled and the tutor is then required to go back and re-teach what should have been taught at home. PVCC is on a limited 33 week calendar which is the precise amount of time to get through our curriculum.
Each tutor will send home lesson plans for Thursday and Friday which will require a parent initial that the work was completed. The signed lesson plan will be returned on Monday with the homeschool work.
Curriculum
All of our lesson plans are built on the assumption that the parent bought all of the recommended curriculum. Some curriculum is “optional” but most is necessary. By partnering with PVCC you agree to purchase the recommended curriculum. If you have a financial hardship, please let administration know.
Math Parent Partnership
Math homework will be assigned every day. It is the responsibility of the parent to grade the math and send in the completed work on the following day for the tutor to see that the work was completed.
Family Vacations
PVCC honors and values your family time. We want you to explore many opportunities with your children. If your vacation coincides with PVCC co-op days, please get the assignments from your tutor. All work will be expected to be done while you are away.
Lower School Academic Honor Code and Policy
By signing this document, you agree to partner with PVCC by the terms in this agreement. Every 4 weeks, Administration will meet with tutors to see if families are turning in their signed lesson plans.
If lesson plans are not signed or not turned in and it is apparent the work is not being done at home after 3 consecutive weeks, parents will be asked to meet with administration to address any concerns or issues.
If lesson plans are not signed or turned in consistently over an 8 week period and it is apparent that the work is not being done at home another parent meeting will take place to see if PVCC is the right fit for the family.
If no improvement is made after 16 weeks and it is apparent that the work is not being done at home, PVCC reserves the right to remove the family from the co-op with no refund of tuition.
