Access to this site requires TEACH membership.  You can request TEACH membership by clicking on the Join link at the very top of this website, and filling out the forms in the step-by-step process that follows.

Q:

Why do I pay a membership fee?

TEACH annual dues cover the basic costs of operation: administrative costs, website fees, insurance, etc.  TEACH does not have any hired employees and strives to keep all costs as low and reasonable as possible.  When funds are available, TEACH will underwrite various events to make them more affordable to families.

You may use a direct PayPal link or write a check.

If you write a check, you can mail it to:  TEACH, PO Box 1226, Traverse City, MI 49685.

[email protected] would be a good email to reach out to for basic information.  Also, if you are a Facebook user, join our page there.

CLASS Day - Co-op Classes

Q:

What is it, when is it, and how do we join?

A:

T.E.A.C.H. hosts two semesters of co-op classes each school year.  This is a great opportunity to make new friends, encourage one another, and to learn new things.  We offer classes for Kindergarten through High School.  Classes offered vary by semester, but we always have a variety of selections for each age group. We currently meet in Traverse City on Monday afternoons. Fall semester runs September - December; spring semester runs February - May.

Policy Questions

Q:

What is T.E.A.C.H.'s inclement weather/closure policy?

A:

Traditionally, we have followed the lead of TCAPS.  If they are closed, we will close.   This year may be different.  Please check your email or the website if you think weather is such that TEACH may have to cancel for the day.  If you feel it is unsafe for your family to travel, please stay home, but do reach out to that event's coordinator.
