How do you determine which class my child will be in?

We sort our classes by birthday not grade. We split the elementary into 6 different groups....(approx.) 5-7 yrs. boy and girl classes, 8 -9 yrs. boy and girl classes, and 10-11 yrs. boy and girl classes. This varies depending on ages and how we can fit them all in. Our elementary classes are a maximum of 21 students.

The Jr. High (approx.) 12-14 yrs. girl and boy classes and Sr. high (approx.) 15-18 yrs. girl and boy classes.

Do you require volunteer hours?

We are a program that relies on parent volunteers. That being said, we understand that everyone has seasons of life in which serving outside of their current commitments is not possible. Volunteering to help in some way is not a condition of participation in the program. There are also ways you can volunteer without having to commit to being at the program every Friday. Those opportunities include administrative work, marketing, prepping class supplies, writing grants, scheduling fieldtrips, and special projects

If you can commit to helping every week there are many ways to contribute. There are a myriad different areas you can fit into, and everyone has a gift!! The HSE community needs you!
