Programs | Parental "Duties"

As a cooperative, Glenbrook's administrative duties and daily operation are dependent on the individuals who comprise its membership. The school's organization and policies reflect years of practical experience and the qualified staff that has helped provide the school with a well-developed philosophy.

Parent Participation: The special nature of Glenbrook Cooperative Nursery School is the close working relationship between parents and teachers. This cooperative approach offers a unique support system as it builds a sense of community and togetherness for parents and children.

We ask our parents to participate in three ways:

• take part in your child's class regularly;
• hold a job at the school;
• attend the general membership meetings to take care of the business of Glenbrook Cooperative Nursery School.

Glenbrook holds a minimum of five regular meetings for the membership during the school year. We schedule meetings on the second Wednesday night of designated months, but this could change depending on needs. The membership meetings are necessary to handle the business of the school. Attendance at these meetings is required.

Members of the school hold all of the following jobs. Our handbook contains a detailed explanation of each job. The board and teachers meet one hour before each membership meeting. Executive Committee jobs are board positions.
