Important Announcments

Hello. I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday weekend. Now that the 4th is over, the next big thing on my calendar is the 1st day of school!

First of all. We have a LOT of progress reports missing. We will be contacting everyone over the next week. If you are sending it in with your enrollment forms, that's fine. But we will still be contacting you if you haven't sent it in. If you don't hear from us, then your good. We appreciate everyone who got theirs in on time. It makes our job easier.

Regular office hours will resume in August. They will be every Monday from 9-1 (during co-op hours). If you need anything, this is the best time to reach us. If we don't answer, leave a message. We will return calls asap. Please remember that we have moved to New Prospect Baptist Church. Our cover church is still New Hope, but we simply out grew the space available to us and New Prospect offered a location for us. We will have our office and co-op at New Prospect.

If you have been wondering if co-op will be a good option for your family, we invite you to stop by our open house on Friday, August 12 at 5-7:00 pm. You can talk with the teachers, see where your classes will be and take care of enrollment and other paperwork that night. We understand that a lot of you are new to this adventure and aren't even sure what co-op is. We encourage you to come to our open house, but you may also come the first day to see if you will like the classes.

Anyone attending co-op: We will have a mandatory co-op orientation on August 15 at 9:00. We will not have our normal opening Bible lesson. We will be going over co-op information and new building rules. We are in a new location which means a few changes for us.

Co-op teachers: Open house is a mandatory workday for all teachers and co-teachers. This will give you an opportunity to set up your classroom and prepare it for the first day.

We have already begun planning field trips for next year! We have several big ideas but we are always open to suggestions from our families!

We will continue to make all events--field trips, co-op, etc-- open to all homeschoolers no matter which cover school you use.

Field Trip- Geocaching Class

Geocaching Class

Monday September 19 at 1:00 pm at New Prospect Baptist Church (where we have co-op).
This class is for students 3rd grade and up. 
There is a maximum of 20 students for this class.
Cost for this class will be $5 per student. There is no charge for adults.
Deadline to sign up will be September 5. 

This class is open to all homeschoolers however you MUST sign up. You are not signed up unless you have emailed us at newhopechristianhomeschool@gmail.com AND paid your fees via paypal. You can pay with our email or use the direct link: paypal.me/nhch

About the class:

This will be a beginners guide to geocaching taught by an experienced volunteer from the community.

We will cover:
How to read a gps. 
How to find caches.
Respecting the caches.

We will have a time in the classroom to cover the basics of gps. We will then head out side where we will find "caches" that have been hidden in the area.

This class will be followed by a geocaching trip at a later date.

What is geocaching?
Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location.

This class will be after co-op ends. If you will be attending co-op, you may bring a lunch to eat after co-op ends before the class begins.

Third. Now that July is here, it's time to sign up for our trip to the water park on July 15. The deadline is today, but I will extend it through July 6 as many of you have spoken to me and told me you were coming. Remember. If you did not email and send payment, you are not signed up!
