ETC (Enrichment Through CHOICE) Co-op Classes
**Click here to see a schedule of our current or upcoming classes: ETC Classes **
ETC Classes are held on Thursdays at Whitefield Baptist Church from 10:00-2:30. The first semester runs from the end of August to the week before Thanksgiving, and the second semester runs from the end of January to the end of April. This is not a drop-off co-op. One parent must be on the premises at all times.
ETC Membership costs $10.00 per student each semester, plus the cost of each class the student is taking. There may be a separate interview as a part of the process for ETC Membership. All fees must be paid prior to attending any classes.
We have classes for all ages, and all parents are required to teach or be a teacher's assistant. You may be an assistant your first semester, but you will be expected to teach a class all semesters after that. We also require that all families assist with setting up and/or resetting and cleaning the premises.
After joining CHOICE, you will not register for ETC yet. The ETC Director will send out an email informing the group of the days that registration for classes will be open. You will go to the Class Matrix on the website, click on the class you want your student to be in, check the box beside that student's name, and click Register. Do that for each student for each hour. When you are finished choosing classes, you are done! Do not pay yet. At the end of the registration window, the ETC Committee will review all registrations to make sure they are correct and then will send out invoices. When you get your invoice, please pay as soon as possible. We must receive payment before we can pay any teachers.
As families, we help plan classes throughout the semester. Whenever you get an idea of what you would like to teach the following semester, talk to other parents about it and let the ETC Committee know. We are excited to offer classes that our kids will enjoy taking, and we are excited to have teachers that enjoy teaching our kids. If you have any questions, contact a CHOICE member or someone on the ETC Committee. We are happy to help!
