There is an orientation meeting that all registered families are required to attend on August 19th at 10:30 am that will give you details about how the program runs and what to expect on Fridays. This meeting is held at Pinelands Presbyterian Church.

Please Keep In Mind:
Payment confirms your student's seat in class; in order to effectively serve your family and our teachers - class payments and supply fees are non-refundable.

If your child misses two consecutive Fridays, please contact the committee member that oversees his/her grade level (above) so we don’t assume that you have dropped out of the program.
10. Where do I get a syllabus for my child’s class?
Visit our website and download it.
11. Are classes at Enrichment taught from a Christian worldview?
Classes at Enrichment are taught from a Christian worldview. The materials (books, movies, media, etc) used, whether overtly Christian or secular, are taught from a Christian worldview. We may, however, present the Christian worldview by way of contrast to a godless worldview. We suggest that you become acquainted with the books required for each class before you register for that class so that you are comfortable with what your students are reading and learning.
12. Where do I wait while my child is in class?
You may wait in the kitchen, breezeway or the patio area.
13. Where do we eat lunch?
You may eat in the kitchen, Room 18, or picnic in the patio area outside.
Please remember to pick up after your child.
14. PEP Lunch Day! What is it and how do I participate?
PEP Lunch Day occurs on the last Friday of every month.
In order to participate, you sign up and prepay (cash only) in the kitchen, the week prior.
Watch for our reminder “ad” posted on the kitchen door.
15. What do I do as a volunteer?
· Take attendance. The attendance sheet is found outside the classroom in the large Ziploc bag, please return once completed.
· Once attendance is taken please lock the door.
· At the end of class, fill out and add any comments or suggestions you may have on a Classroom Assessment Report form (found on the classroom bulletin board), complete it, and place in the envelope found on the bulletin board.
· Assist the teacher as necessary.
· Assist during Fire Drills.
16. I forgot when I’m supposed to be volunteering, now what?
A master volunteer schedule is posted on the bulletin board in the breezeway or see Angie.
17. I have an emergency and can’t keep my commitment, what do I do?
To the best of your ability try to find a replacement and call Angie to notify her of the change. Her number may be found in the directory you received at the orientation meeting.
18. Who may use the nursery?
· Nursery care is available to children three years old and younger only while a parent is volunteering or teaching.
· A parent that is not teaching or volunteering may use the nursery with their child as space permits.
· Keep in mind that older siblings/students are not to visit or stay in the nursery.
19. I have older children (4 years & up) not participating in a class while I am supposed to volunteer, what do I do with them?
Children who need to be supervised may attend the class with you, providing they are not disruptive, or you may designate another parent to supervise your child while you are volunteering.
20. Do I need to stay on campus?
We prefer that parents remain on campus. If for some reason you find it necessary to leave, you MUST designate someone to be responsible for your child and let your child know who is responsible for them during your absence.
21. Is there a dress code at PEP?
Yes, we ask that both parents and students wear proper attire while on campus.
Gentlemen: We ask that a belt be worn, if needed, so as not to reveal the elastic band of the underwear you are wearing. We ask that the images and text on t-shirts be in keeping with good taste.
Ladies: We ask that moms and girls wear modest attire. Soffes, short shorts and short skirts are not to be worn while on campus. No bare midriffs or spaghetti straps unless covered by an additional shirt or jacket that remains worn at all times. Please, no low cut shirts or tight fitting skirts, shorts, jeans or pants.
22. I have other children not enrolled in the program; can they receive an ID card?
No, ID cards are only for enrolled students.
