Mandatory Meetings
During the spring we host a mandatory training meeting and a new member orientation. During this meeting, we utilize the time for partners and subject teams to meet and begin planning.
New Member Orientation - we hold a new member orientation to go over areas of interest and concern for new members, tour the building, and allow new members an opportunity to sit in on the class they will be facilitating in the upcoming year.
We also host a mandatory Kick-Off Meeting & Social in August to start the year with prayer and an overview of the year's classes and events, hand out materials, cover policies and procedures, and spend break out time within our levels. We also have time for fellowship and getting to know one another during lunch break (PCC provides).

Tapestry of Grace Calendar
Our history program is structured around the 36 week TOG program. We will provide each family with a weekly working calendar for use of the TOG program at home. The TOG curriculum is longer than our annual co-op term. Therefore, there will be some weeks that TOG is assigned for use at home, but co-op will not be in session.
Note Regarding Curriculum
We do our best to utilize the curriculum supported by the co-op to its fullest extent, however, due to the number of weeks in our operating calendar there may be some curriculum that needs to be completed outside of our operation schedule.
