Iowa Christian Home Educators
Statement
of Faith Who we are:
We believe in the eternally existing, triune God; man’s sinful nature
and need for redemption; and Jesus
Christ’s atoning death and resurrection. We
believe in the inerrancy of the Bible and that it is the foundation upon which
all education should be based (Romans 12:1-2, Joshua 1:8, 2 Timothy 3:16,
Colossians 2:8, James 1:5, Deuteronomy 6:6-9).
No denomination or individual doctrine will be
promoted.

Participation Guidelines for CICHE Activities
CICHE
COOPERATIVE PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES Coop is an opportunity for all
CICHE member children to participate in monthly classroom learning
opportunities. Classes are offered for age-specific groups, to maximize
students’ learning potential. Because coop is offered BY member families, FOR
member families, the following participation guidelines are in place: 1. All participating families
are requested to provide a primary contribution to the group. A primary contribution includes:
1. Offering to teach a class (mom, dad or high school student) *Preferred
(see below) 2. Arranging for an outside teacher to come in to teach (retired school teacher, local community
“experts”, grandparent, etc.) *Preferred (see below) 3. Because not everyone is gifted for teaching, there are a limited number of coop committee, non- teaching positions available; which qualify as a “primary contribution”. 4. First-year home schooling families
and families with a baby under one year of age are not required to provide a primary contribution. 2. All participating families
are requested to provide a secondary contribution. A secondary contribution includes: 1. Teacher assistant: Assistants are teachers’ “helpers”. They are also expected to provide supervision and occupy students during a class period, should the teacher have an unexpected emergency which prevents him/her from teaching (illness, etc.). 2. Cover a nursery shift. 3. All participating member
families are expected to meet registration deadlines. Those families, who are established members of CICHE, are required to meet all deadlines as communicated. This is out of respect to coop committee members who volunteer their time, in service to you, to organize coop. Of course, new family members cannot be held to this standard because they would not have been made aware of any deadlines. Consideration may also be given for member family special circumstances (moves, family illness, etc.). 4. A parent must remain on the
premises while their children participate in coop. A parent or other responsible person is expected to be present to handle any disciplinary or emergency situations that may arise with their children. Parents may arrange with extended family or a friend to cover for them if they are unable to stay at coop. In that case, the parent should notify their children’s teachers who that responsible party is. These guidelines are not
intended to hinder families from participating. The coop committee will work
with any and all families who wish to participate, but are unsure how
they can contribute. Our goal is to share the “load” and we are certain that
all families have a contribution to offer. Please refer your questions or
concerns to the coop committee chairperson. *Preferred because more
class offerings give our students a greater variety of classroom learning
opportunities from which to choose.
