Please note that HEED is a not for profit, cooperative organization working to assist the most families possible. We recognize that our enrollment is limited, and we can never possibly meet all of the requests for class placement that we receive.

GENERAL REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS 2010-2011

This section outlines the procedure for HEED registration. Placement of students in classes at HEED is determined by many factors. Class size is limited and many sections will fill immediately. Please be aware that we are only able to accommodate a limited number of families.

New Families - Important

1. All students new to HEED are required to submit a letter of recommendation from current HEED families by March 23rd and should contact HEED Directors to schedule an interview. (Please e-mail to heeddirectors@gmail.com)

2. New families may be asked to meet for an interview March 23rd or April 6th.

All Registering Students

1. When registering for classses, please be mindful of the following important HEED policies:

Parental Involvement: As with all home education classes, parents are the primary educators, administrators, and disciplinarians of their students. The HEED instructor is the tutor teaching the student in class, while the parent oversees and leads the student during the week. Parents will need to remain involved by: being aware of assignments, due dates, and student progress, as well as providing help for their individual student when needed. Keeping up on all assignments and handing in work on time is crucial for the success of the class and for the course to progress along throughout the year.

Children younger than a traditional 6th grade student will not be considered for placement. Students are not permitted to be at HEED without a parent, unless they are in class. If a student has a free period, he/she must be picked up or arrangements must be made with an adult on the premises to supervise them at all times. No exceptions please.

Please Note: HEED is not equipped to have students, multiple sublings, and families stay in the gym for consecutive free periods. For example, if your student has only a first period class and a fourth period class, the parent may come and supervise him/her at HEED during that free time. If it is necessary to bring the whole family alont to supervise their free periods he/she should be picked up for their free time and brought back for their class.
