The Limited Co-op is just that: limited. Limited in size, limited in scope, limited in membership. While all SCCCHE
families are welcome to participate, you are strongly encouraged to pray about your involvement and how TLC fits into
your family goals and schedule for this season. Our purpose is to meet the need for some enrichment classes while
Master’s Lyceum is on hiatus.
Families who participate are expected to:




Have a parent or responsible adult ON SITE while children are in classes.
Be actively involved as a teacher, proctor, or volunteer if at all possible.
Observe all SCCCHE modesty guidelines. (Specifically: covered shoulders and sleeves; modest hem, waist, and
neck lines; undergarments/straps should not be visible.) Front desk will have duct tape, ugly cardigan sweaters,
and an oversize modesty cover-all. If in doubt, add a sweater, turtleneck, leggings, belt, or burka. 
At all times, glorify our Lord through appropriate behavior and speech.
Registration process: What a HUGE blessing to have an online registration system! As you prepare for classes, please
keep the following in mind:





PRAY about which classes, if any, are God’s will for your family this semester.
Create your family profile at www.thelimitedcoop.org
Once registration opens, sign up for any volunteer positions, then register children for classes.
After locking in your family choices, print out two (2) copies of the registration form. You will also need to print
the waiver form, check the boxes, and sign & date it as required.
Parent/payment meeting TBA. Bring 2 copies of your registration and the signed waiver form, along with all
individual payment checks.
Class & Facility Fees:




Each family is asked to give a $10.00 facility fee payable to “First Church of the Nazarene”
Each family is asked to give a $5.00 TLC fee payable to “SCCCHE” to cover co-op costs.
Individual class fees are set by teachers. Checks payable to each teacher are STRONGLY recommended. Exact
cash in separate envelopes labeled with teacher’s name will be accepted, but please be aware the registration
team cannot accept responsibility for any missing monies. If you prefer to pay by cash, consider asking a friend
to write out checks for you.
Refunds: since you have earnestly prayed about TLC before signing up for classes, there should be no reason to
ask for a refund. In bizarre and extenuating circumstances, a refund may be granted prior to the first class
session.
