Co-op FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about the WMS Parent Cooperative ("Co-op") Program
The WMS Parent Cooperative Program (Co-op) builds on the sharing of skills, talents and participation throughout the school community to meet the needs of our children and benefit school programs as a whole.
Co-op provides a way for all of our children to benefit from the unique interests, talents and professional skills abundant in our parent population. Active involvement in Co-op is an excellent way to strengthen your partnership in your child’s education while getting to know other families and making valuable contributions integral to the functioning of the school.
Due to restrictions from Delaware Office of Child Care Licensing regarding visitors to our school, we have suspended the Parent Cooperative Program for the 2020-21 school year. We will continue to provide parent support and education through various webinars and online sessions as an extension of the Co-op Program.
We hope you will join us at virtual events as often as your schedule allows, and volunteer if possible when opportunities present themselves. We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with you and your family. Co-op as you know it will resume in the 2021-22 school year!
