Program Details:
Roots & Wings is a farm-based, drop-off, supplemental education program for home schooled children between the ages of 5 and 13.  For this fall we have made changes to our program design to prioritize the safety of our community given the unknowns of COVID.  We will be offering an initial A Block for 4 weeks. A Block will run September 7th through October 1st. We will consider offering a second block (B Block) in October and will announce registration for that later in September. Anyone enrolled in A Block will have priority registration for B Block. Our class length is being shortened to 90 minutes to make it more viable for children to wear masks, which we will be requiring. Classes will be offered in 3 sections Mon-Thurs: morning (10am), early afternoon (1pm), and later afternoon (3pm). Please understand that we are not able to provide activities or child care services in between class sections at this time. 
There is a $50 per family, non refundable, registration fee due immediately to secure your child's spot. If you cancel within two weeks of the semester start date you are obligated to pay for child(ren's) spot in the semester, unless your spot can be filled. Given COVID, if we are required to close the program, you will not have to pay for days when the program does not run. All families will need to complete and sign a participant handbook that details our respective agreements in this program, with a new emphasis on our COVID-19 response protocols. 

Please note the following registration guidelines:
*Registration will be first come first serve. The $50 per family registration fee must be made within 48 hours otherwise your spot will be made available to others and you will be added to the waitlist.
*After August 15th you are obligated to pay the full semester's tuition unless you are able to find a replacement for your child(ren)'s spot.
*Please contact us with any questions as soon as possible so that we can assist you. We understand that this is a big change and this is our best plan with what we know. 

If you ARE NEW to ROOTS & WINGS, please note:
*This program is run entirely outdoors. Children will need to dress for the daily weather and currently we only have porta pottie facilities with separate hand washing stations.
*Please note that we do not currently have the support staff to meet the needs of children that would need an IEP if they were in school or would need an aid. We looking towards being able to grow the program in this way in the future.
*Please note that this program is ONLY for children who are registered home schoolers. If your child is registered at a school we are not able to enroll them in the Roots & Wings program.
*You will need to complete an orientation before your child can start in our program. Dates will be announced mid August.  

Thank you!
