Section I: Overview
SECTION I: Overview
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to connect homeschool families with local educational resources, businesses and services to support their goals and needs. In the event local services are not available, or easily accessible, Choice Education Network, Inc. ("CEN, Inc.") will work to build quality programming in the form of workshops, classes, and special events to help fulfill the educational needs of the homeschool community. We believe that knowledge and skills training are essential to empowering individuals to be their best selves, to be active participants within their community and provide opportunities for professional development and personal enrichment.
TYPES OF SERVICES:
CEN, Inc. offers three types of services: 1) Free Classes and "Meet-Ups", 2) Club-style classes with minimal fees/dues, and 3) Tuition-based classes. Class descriptions will clearly state any applicable fees, supply costs and whether financial aid, multi-student or multi-class discounts apply, and other details regarding curriculum, prerequisites and expectations.
CEN, Inc. does not require a "membership" in the network to participate in clubs, classes or events. While most classes do not require a full school year commitment, it is expected that families will complete the classes for which they are enrolled and meet any prerequisites for these classes. "Session dates" vary from single day workshops/clinics to full school year production/advanced classes. Please read class descriptions for details.
While the majority of our community members opt in to our "Network Days" schedule and flat rate plan, ALL of our classes are available "a le carte" for families desiring a single class option. Please allow our administrators up to 3 business days to update your fee schedule when choosing Network Days as all our classes will initially post as individual classes (meaning you will not see the discounted rate during your initial enrollment process).
Please contact our Network Director, Amy Chiodo, regarding financial aid, family packages and discount availability. Please note that some financial aid discounts will require proof of income.
CLUBS VS CLASSES
Clubs: Clubs are generally led by volunteer teachers, or skilled individuals willing to work at significantly reduced rates, are usually considered recreational or extra curricular subjects and may not necessarily follow a set curriculum. Clubs generally meet less than 10 times in each semester or in smaller unit time frames not to exceed a 16-week period in any one semester. Club-style classes may be offered year round or on a seasonal basis. Club fees, if applicable, are decided upon as a club to cover the needs/projects desired and are not billed directly through our system. Clubs will collect and manager their own project funds as needed.
Classes: Classes are generally taught by paid instructors or mentors holding a college degree, certification, or are highly experienced in the field for which they are teaching. Classes follow a curriculum with specific objectives and are generally accepted as an academic subject for which parents may choose to grade their students. Our teachers do not "grade" students (this is the role of their parent) but will offer feedback if requested and may produce a certificate or other document showing course completion upon request. Classes generally meet weekly over the span of a typical 12-16 week semester and are generally offered through the school year. Classes are billed by the semester or school year and may offer monthly payment options.
Free Classes and Meet-Ups. As CEN, Inc. receives sponsorships and support these savings and special offers are passed on to our network families. Opportunities for free and discounted classes will vary from semester to semester according to enrollments, sponsorships, donations, availability of volunteers, etc.
Additional Fees: Some classes may have additional costs. Please read the class description fully for a break down of fees and due dates. Registration, supply, and facility fees do not qualify for discounts, are non-refundable and are to be paid on or before the first day of class - or the deadline indicated in the class description. Classes for which you can expect to see additional fees include, but are not limited to, our choir and theater production courses.
Section II: Fees and Payments
SECTION II: Fees and Payments
Due to COVID-19, our payment structure has been modified to help families in these uncertain times. We are offering MONTHLY payments with tuition due on the FIRST of each month and are nonrefundable. Teachers are prepared to complete any cancelled in-person classes VIRTUALLY until we can resume in-person sessions or until the session is completed. For example, fees for February are due on the 1st. If we meet on the 10th, but our state issues another lock-down period or our host venue must close, we will continue weeks 2-4 virtually to complete the month's lessons/classes. If our host is open and in person is able to resume, virtual sessions will be cancelled and in-person classes will resume instead. Refunds CANNOT be guaranteed in the event of a shut down or host cancellation as those funds are reallocated to cover virtual lessons/software, etc. All participants enroll at their own risk.
Payments in full: While the state is "at risk" of potential shut-down, we are not accepting payments "in full." Please log into the parent portal to make your monthly payment. When the risk of cancellation subsides, families may choose to pay in full with a 5% "pay in full" discount.
Installments: Installments, or monthly payments, are accepted for many classes, though families will be responsible for the full session fees regardless of attendance. All facility and supply fees are due two weeks prior to the first scheduled class (or at the time of enrollment if enrolling less than 2 weeks from the start date). Payments are due on the 1st of the month and may be made online by selecting "partial payment" or by check, debit, credit or cash on the day of class. Alternate due dates may be arranged in advance by contacting our Network Director at ChoiceEdNetwork@gmail.com.
Returned Check / NSF Automatic Payment Alert: All returned checks will incur a $40 service fee. After the second returned check, payment via cash, money order, cashier's check or credit card to bring their account current is required and a "hot check" alert will be placed on the account. No checks will be accepted on flagged accounts. All flagged accounts reset after 1 semester and/or at the discretion of the Network Director.
REFUND POLICY:
CEN, Inc, works to keep our rates affordable to as many families as possible. By taking part in our activities we are depending on your fees to cover our teachers, facilities and supplies, insurance and more. Generally, refunds cannot be guaranteed after the class/session has begun.
Registration, supply and facility fees are non-refundable after the enrollment deadline or after the first scheduled class - whichever is later.
Closed enrollment classes or clubs (i.e. do not allow late/open enrollment throughout the session; have an enrollment deadline) are generally not eligible for refunds.
Open enrollment classes or clubs (i.e. allow enrollment at any time during the session) qualify for prorated tuition/refunds at the discretion of the Network Director.
Clubs are generally billed by the project and typically only cover supply/facility costs. Partial refunds may be given for families unable to continue club-style classes but are not guaranteed once supplies have been purchased.
No refund will be issued for completed/past classes and no credit or refund will be issued for classes missed by the student.
Holidays and inclement weather have been considered in determining the pricing structure. Tuition is not prorated for "short months" nor for the occasional closing due to inclement weather. In the event of a closing or class cancellation, every reasonable effort will be made to schedule make-up sessions or extend session dates to complete projects. Extended closures due to weather or other conditions outside our control will be handled case by case. Every reasonable effort will be made to refund/credit and/or make up classes.
Section III: Attendance
SECTION III: Attendance Policy
Attendance is taken during each class. Generally, clubs and classes do not enforce a participation or minimum attendance policy to remain on the roster if accounts are current.
CHOIRS, DRAMA/PRODUCTION, and COMPETITIVE TEAMS depend on active and steady participation and attendance for the overall success and performance of the program. Students accepted into programs such as choir, production classes or competitive teams risk losing their place and being transferred to another project or class requiring less commitment if attendance falls under 80%. Re-enrollment to these classes is at the sole discretion of the director, teacher or coach after completing a re-entry interview.
Accounts with no payment activity and a "no-show" at the time of the first scheduled class will result in an automatic "drop" from the roster unless prior arrangements have been made with the teacher or network director.
Some classes have limited space and enrollment deadlines. As a courtesy to those on the waitlist, please contact CEN, Inc. as soon as possible if you will not be able to keep your place in the class.
No-Show Policy. Students who's accounts are not paid by their first class of the month AND do not show for their registered courses will be dropped and placed at the bottom of the waitlist. If you know you will miss the first class of the session, please make a payment (this signals a serious registration) and let our teachers know you will not make the first class. They'll be happy to ensure you have all you need to stay caught up.
Section IV: Financial Aid, Scholarships, Donations, Sponsors
SECTION IV: Financial Aid, Scholarships, Donations, Sponsorships
In order to make services as widely available as possible, we accept many forms of donations and work with local entities interested in sponsoring CEN, Inc. programs.
Gift Certificates: Gift certificates may be purchased for a specific student or family, but are not considered donations and do not qualify for tax-deductions.
Sponsorships: Sponsorship opportunities are available, please contact our Network Director for more information.
Donations: Monetary donations to our organization are allocated at the discretion of the board to provide services to our network members and community. Supplies may be donated for specific projects or for general use.
Financial Aid / Scholarships: Families requesting aid must contact the Network Director and indicate a need for assistance. All scholarships and financial aid are awarded at the discretion of the Board of Directors or the Network Director based on the needs of individual students and available resources. A request for aid is not a guarantee or automatic discount. Please speak with a member of our administrative team if you are needing help.
Section V: Participant Agreements & General Policies
SECTION V: Participation Agreements & General Policy
A participant is defined as any individual enrolled into CEN, Inc. programs and any family members or guests remaining on-site during CEN, Inc. activities.
CEN, Inc. strives to build a community of trust and cooperation as we work to include all homeschool families in their efforts to provide quality education programs to their unique homeschooling goals. All participants are expected to abide by "The Golden Rule" to treat others as they wish to be treated.
Acceptance or denial of any applicant to any class, club or event is at the complete discretion of the Network Director and/or the Board of Directors. The following policies and standards apply to each participant:
CEN, Inc. has two basic rules regarding behavior and interaction with one another: Be Kind. Be Safe. Grace, courtesy and respect towards one another is always expected. We do not need to agree on everything in order to cooperate civilly within the classroom setting. Keep yourself, those around you and any property/materials safe. Reckless or dangerous behavior is not tolerated.
CEN, Inc. has a ZERO BULLYING policy. This applies to students, parents, staff and volunteers participating in any activity or event. This also applies to interaction on official electronic media controlled by CEN, Inc., including, but not limited to, Facebook, Instagram and its official website.
By participating in our services, participants and their families agree to refrain from vulgar language and swearing. Help our children and youth build meaningful vocabulary and learn to express their needs with respectful language. Vulgar gestures and innuendos are never acceptable and grounds for immediate dismissal from any official activity. A repeat offense will result in removal from our programs without refund.
Participants and their families understand and acknowledge that CEN, Inc.'s Board of Directors reserves the right to regulate the scope of its services and curriculum offered as it deems appropriate.
CEN, Inc. requires participants to enroll in its programs using the gender indicated on their legal birth certificate. Gender pronoun preferences may be included on the application if desired under "other" on the application.
Though students may make their gender preference known, CEN, Inc. does not require staff, volunteers, students or the network community to honor the requests where a legal change has not been made. In the event of a legal gender change, court documentation and legal birth certificate changes must be presented in order to modify gender identity on applications. It is the responsibility of the individual participant to inform staff and fellow participants of their individual pronoun preference, Where gender specific uniforms and/or dress codes exist, participants are expected to dress according to their legally documented gender (i.e. choral formal attire).
CEN, Inc.'s policies on gender comply with applicable Arkansas law. For more information, consult Ark. Code Ann. §§ 20-18-307, 20-18-304, 20-18-305.
Bathroom policy: During class time, students may use restrooms one at a time as to not disrupt the flow and productivity of the classroom. Some facilities used by CEN, Inc's have segregated "adult" and "student/minor" restrooms. Please be sure to note the locations of both.
Medical concerns: CEN, Inc. activities are peanut free. Certain members in our network may experience life-threatening contact allergies to peanuts. However, please note that CEN, Inc. uses publicly available space and venues and cannot guarantee an "allergy free" environment at all times and is not responsible for incidents resulting from exposure to said spaces or venues. Please communicate only medical conditions or allergies, not "dietary preferences" in your allergy comments. Use the "other" area to communicate non-emergency requests, dietary preferences or other information you feel is important for our staff to know.
CEN, Inc. requires each HOUSEHOLD to be illness/symptom free for at least 48 hours before attending events/classes. In light of C19, we request a 72 hour wait period if experiencing any C19 symptoms.
All participants are to adhere to the policies and standards of our host venues. CEN, Inc. intends to network throughout the region. It is the responsibility of participants to follow all posted and verbal instructions, safety procedures and facility policies. CEN, Inc. is not responsible for injuries resulting from the failure to abide by the policies and standards of these venues. Our staff will do their best to communicate any known "special" venue policies in advance.
Under 501(c)(3) requirements, it is inappropriate for CEN, Inc. to engage in political lobbying and activist activity. CEN, Inc. encourages its members to be active participants in their communities and to stay abreast of current affairs, but does not support/endorse any particular political agenda, candidate, ideology, etc. Any expression of personal opinions by teachers, staff, volunteers, board members and/or hosts should NOT be considered an official representation or viewpoint of CEN, Inc.
It is inappropriate for teachers, staff, volunteers or participants to allow topics/subject matter to stray outside the context and purpose of the class or club.
General Behavior: Our teachers, volunteers and hosts reserve the right to manage classrooms or activities as they deem appropriate, and in accordance with CEN, Inc. policies and guidelines.
CEN. Inc. will not tolerate reckless behavior, disrespect toward or behavior that could result in physical harm to others. Anyone exhibiting said behavior may be dismissed from the current activities without refund. The Network Director and host venues reserve the right to remove disruptive individuals from a class/premises without refund.
Parents or responsible parties will be informed if their students are causing disruptions to the classroom. Continued disturbances may result in dismissal from CEN, Inc. programs.
Parents of students with behavioral/special needs are required to remain IN class at all times. CEN, Inc is not staffed for "special needs" students and will require assistance from the student's parent(s) to ensure their needs are met for a successful class experience.
Participants are asked to clearly and visibly wear their name tag or uniform (as applicable) during events and classes.
During activities, participants are asked to remain in areas designated for the activity in which they are participating. Children are not to be left unattended at any time. Minors participating in drop-off programs must remain with their group at all times.
Participants are asked to check-in and out for each day's activities for participant safety and for recording attendance, which is available for parents to view within the parent portal. Children under age 10 must have an older sibling or guardian sign on their behalf. Please advise staff if someone other than the parent or legal guardian will be picking up your child.
Except in the event of an emergency, please do not contact host venues directly pertaining to CEN, Inc. activities. If there are questions or concerns you may contact our Network Director, instructor, club leaders or event leads.
Complaints, concerns and other suggestions should be brought to CEN, Inc.'s administrators. CEN, Inc. will provide anonymous surveys at the conclusion of each event/semester in an effort to improve our participants' experience. We encourage honest feedback as well as suggestions for improvement, development and club/class offerings.
By submitting an application for enrollment, participants agree to abide by all policies and standards. Participants also understand that policies may be changed/updated at any time. Current policies are viewable on the parent portal and on our website at www.ChoiceEdNetwor
Section VI: Dress Code
SECTION VI: Dress Code
We wish to present OUR BEST SELF and as such implement a general dress standard while participating in CEN, Inc. activities. Please be advised that some clubs/classes may enforce a different dress code as outlined in their club/class policies and there may be special circumstances where specific attire is required. These instances will be clearly communicated in advance.
Generally speaking, we do not wish to "enforce" dress standards; however, there are times when photographers will be shooting promo footage or we may have potential sponsors auditing our programs, both legitimate reasons to present your best self. Sometimes the participant's choice in clothing, accessories, etc may become a genuine distraction and/or safety concern for the class(es) they wish to participate. For these reasons, a general "present your best self" dress code is required.
The following is not permitted:
NO bare midriffs.
NO sagging.
NO vulgar saying or graphic pictures on any attire, accessories or other merchandise.
NO "torn/ripped" clothing.
Our teens and adults are expected to abide by a general "workplace standard" in regards to "modesty." If your outfit would not be acceptable in the workplace, it is not acceptable for CEN, Inc activities. Our goals are to help our youth succeed in all aspects of education, including reasonable expectations for dressing for a job.
I acknowledge receipt of these policies and standards and agree to abide by the rules of conduct.
