Interest List Policy and Procedure

Firmly Planted Westside

Firmly Planted Westside maintains a file of interested families. This Interest List is made up of prospective member families and former member families who are interested in registering for the next available opening.
Prospective and former members must submit a completed Interest List Form before being added to the Interest List. The date on which the form is received will become the family’s current Interest List date.
In order, we assess class space availability and whether there is space for each child in a family. If there is not space for each child in the family, the next family on the Interest List will be considered, as space allows.
If a family chooses not to register when given the opportunity but still wishes to remain on the Interest List, their Interest List date will remain the same.
We would ask that families let us know if they no longer wish to be on the Interest List as it may delay other families’ registration.
The Membership Coordinator and Firmly Planted Board reserve the right to make exceptions to this policy to fit a specifically identified need (i.e. needing a teacher for a specific class.)
The completed Membership Application is good for two years. At the end of two years, families who desire to remain on the Interest List are welcome to complete a new application keeping their status current.
Firmly Planted prays over applicants and accepts new families based on availability and current co-op needs. An Interest List will be maintained if the Co-op is filled to capacity.
The Interest List is managed by Kim Macri, our Membership Coordinator. She can be reached at membership.fpwestside@gmail.com
