Welcome Back To School!

As the school year
begins, we thought it would be helpful to introduce a new guide to everything
back-to-school. — And by everything we mean: 1. Our story on the key things
parents can assist with, from goal-setting to getting organized to how to
help kids succeed at school. 2. The recent NY Times cover
story questioning popular forms of parental involvement while supporting
others. 3. This invaluable roundtable
discussion between award-winning local teachers on what works in education.
(Don’t miss their suggestions on how best to get along with your child’s
teacher!) 4. Great tips for school
supplies your kids will love. 5. Our select guides to fall
fashions and footwear for children. And last but most delicious: 6. Inspired suggestions for
school lunches from the mom and home cook behind the sensational blog Weelicious.com.

The Co-op School provides a safe and stimulating micro-environment in which students experiment and learn. Their approach to teaching kindergarten through eighth grade is firmly rooted in our philosophy that students learn best when they are invested in finding answers to their own questions. Their teachers use the Responsive Classroom approach to facilitate this process and provide meaningful learning experiences for each student, preparing them for the grades ahead. As students learn to work together, preparing for a global environment, families also work in committees and on the board to support the school and its core values: compassion, uniqueness, innovation, community action, and joy. Families interested in joining our community are welcome to reach out for a one-on-one meeting by emailing <span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; background-color: #ffffff; font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; color: #1a73e8; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a style="color: #1155cc;" href="mailto:admissions@thecoopschool.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admissions@thecoopschool.org</a> to learn more about their approach to learning; their newly built facility, which is optimized for airflow and safety; and their cooperative commitment.
