Mandatory Parent Meeting(s)-All Co-op families in the Morning Preschool, Afternoon Pre-K and Kindergarten must attend the August 21st Parent Meeting. All Co-op families in the Two-Year-Old program must attend both August 21 and August 26th Parent Meetings. Please do not bring any children to any of these meetings. See calendar for dates and times below.

Clean-Up Days-As part of the cooperative preschool & kindergarten experience, all families help to clean and maintain our school facilities. (Two-Year-Old families do not attend clean-up days.) All families should plan to attend one of the three scheduled Clean-up Days before school begins: August 9th, 14th or 15th. During orientation you will learn more about clean-up days and other routine tasks with which you can help. You will have an opportunity to choose those jobs which work best for your family. See calendar below for dates and times.

Records Day is for New Families Only-Because parents and teachers work together at Co-op, working parents are required to meet the same standards set by Kentucky law which apply to teachers. All working parents (all adults who will assist in the classroom at Co-op) must provide:

  • A negative TB screening. This is available at county health departments and physician's offices. It is good for two years.
  • Background/Security checks. Available at our Rosemont Garden facility on August 13th.
  • A current Kentucky Immunization Certificate for your child. State law also requires that Co-op maintains this on file.
