Coop Requirements

As a cooperative school run by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of current and alumni parents, we encourage all our families to be an active part of our school community by volunteering their time in a variety of ways. However, we understand that committing time can be difficult for some families and offer opt-out fees in lieu of volunteer time.

Coop tracking and opt-out selections are managed on a semester-by-semester basis. The fall semester runs from August through December, and the spring semester runs from January through May. For summer camps, families are only required to provide snacks; however, all are welcome to participate in parent-helper days if they wish.

Serving on the GPCP Board of Directors exempts you from all of the above requirements with the exception of Snack Helper. Sign ups for volunteer opportunities will be communicated regularly throughout the year.
