Independent StudyHarvest Ridge’s program is set up to provide classroom-based instruction to students Monday through Thursday of the school week. Independent Study is assigned to students every Friday, as well as some additional days throughout the school year. This work is to be completed in the home, not on the school campus. Instructional minutes for Fridays are included in the total required instructional minutes by the state. Teachers are required to assign a full day of assignments for students to complete at home in order to be in compliance with our charter. Parents are highly encouraged to participate on campus and help students in their learning process.
Home StudyHarvest Ridge’s Home Study program puts parents in the driver's seat in delivering their student's instruction. Our teachers help parents choose curriculum, create learning plans, and set goals for your students to achieve their highest academic potential. Students have opportunities for enrichment classes, field trips, sports, and other school/community events. Our school provides funding for curriculum choices and enrichment options in order for families to have the freedom to select the best educational experience for their students. Teachers and parents work together in order to create a truly personal learning experience for your student, where they are supported and encouraged to achieve throughout their educational journey.

Parent CooperativeAs a parent cooperative school, parents are an integral part of the Harvest Ridge School program. As their children’s first and most important teacher, parents are involved and supported as participants in home learning activities, including instructing and supervising Independent Study activities, assigned homework, curriculum related activities, decisions, and planning.
Parents are encouraged to participate in the classrooms to assist teachers and students in the learning process. School staff recruit and train parents to assist teachers and students in the classroom, on educational field trips, and in a variety of non-teaching school enrichment activities. Parents are invited to assume leadership in school governance by serving on the Board of Directors, which works to formulate major educational and operational policies, approve all personnel contracts, and manage the school’s annual budget and fiscal affairs. Parents are encouraged to attend both parent teacher and learning conferences, and are asked to fulfill their requested volunteer hours. Volunteer opportunities such as working in the classroom, attending field trips, coordinating special events, assisting with the hot lunch program, CAASPP Testing Breakfast, Book Fair, Science Fair, Talent Show, and holiday programs provide ample opportunities for parents to stay involved. Parents are encouraged to support their children by attending school events, including student performances, parent meetings or events, assemblies, and sports events. |
