SUMMARY:Junior Co-op Practice Day
DESCRIPTION:Junior Co-op families will attend a Practice Day the week before Co-op starts so they can practice going to Co-op! \nJunior Co-op is a great way to enrich your homeschool journey\, but it can also overwhelm families when they first begin. The practice day will help families acclimate to Co-op and feel confident when they arrive on the first day. Even families who have participated for many years will benefit from meeting their new facilitators and pod parents. \nWe require all Junior Co-op families to attend the Practice Day. \nStudents will meet their facilitators and pod parents\, who will help them navigate Co-op. They will sit through a morning assembly\, practice walking up to their first class\, find out where to put their belongings\, and then practice transitioning to breaks and other classes. They can visit the bathrooms and water fountains so they feel more confident\, and they can practice getting picked up by a parent at the end of the day. \nThis entire day is much shorter than a typical Co-op day\, but it will give your Junior Co-op student confidence for the start of the year!
