At Tomball Classes, we want you
to know the teachers consider their classes to be a ministry and are committed
to meet each student's educational needs as best they can. We are
keenly aware that we are not a school, only a support arm, helping each family
reach the goals set by parents for their own children.
Since our classes meet only once
per week, teachers rely heavily on daily parental supervision of the student's
work at home. We expect students to work diligently to complete weekly
assignments and be prepared when they come to class in order for the class time
to be productive for all students. An unprepared student stifles not only his
own progress but also the effectiveness of class time for all other students.
Full Year Commitment
We also ask that parents share the same full year commitment as the teachers,
with the understanding that each teacher will establish his or her own drop
policy to deal with emergency situations, such as illness or an unexpected move
from the area. In August, each teacher may make a decision to go
forward with some small classes, based on this full year commitment.
Additionally, in any class that is full, each student has taken a seat that
might have gone to another student. In light of these considerations, you
should consider your enrollment a full year commitment, whether or not your
child completes the full year of classes, unless you have been informed
otherwise by your teacher.
Insurance Fee
To defray rising rental costs without steep tuition increases, each family will
make a single $15 insurance payment annually, payable to Tomball Classes.
This payment should be sent to one of your teachers as a separate check payable
to "Tomball Classes" with the first tuition installment, so that the
teacher can forward it to the Steering Committee. The insurance fee must
be paid before students attend any classes.
Supervised Study Hall /
Fellowship Hall
Students who will be on campus in between classes must be enrolled in study hall
for their safety- not wandering around the campus before, between, or after
class. Registration for study hall ( which is free) will
be open August 1.
We look forward to another great school year in 2008/2009.
