HEC is a volunteer-led group. You will get out of the group what you are willing to put into it. Members are expected to volunteer in some service of the group.  This could include coordinating at least one field trip, assisting in future co-op classes, planning a special event, helping with setting up for meetings, etc.  Please pray about what area you would like to serve.

Membership Expectations (for students and adults):

  • Show respect to others at all times
  • Use good manners at all times – please, thank you, excuse me, etc. When someone else is talking, be sure to listen and wait your turn to speak.
  • Respect the property and facilities that are used. Assist in leaving meeting places and other facilities neat and orderly.
  • Be mindful of safety at all times, and in all places, for yourself and those around you.

Steps for Membership:

  • Fill out registration form
  • Attend parent meeting at beginning of school year

Parent Expectations:
HEC is not a drop-off group.  Parents are expected to be involved in the group.  
Indicate on your registration form the area in which you are planning to serve.

  1. We ask that you call Calvary Church your church home, be a regular attendee (meaning you attend more than you miss) and be in agreement with our Statement of Faith and Mission Statement.
  2. A parent must be present, unless arranged previously with another parent who will be responsible for the supervision and behavior of that child during all HEC events.
  3. Every mother is required to sign up for a responsibility within the group.
  4. All Parent Meetings are MANDATORY (August and January)
  5. We will start every event on time, so please make it a priority to be on time.
  6. It is very important that you be committed to checking your email weekly for dates of the co-op meetings, supplies you will need to bring, field trips and announcements for that month.
