No, Rooted & Rising is not a co-op. Typically co-ops require parents to stay on-campus and require volunteer participation in some manner of all students’ education. We are a drop off program with a partnership with homeschool parents and teachers. There are volunteer opportunities but parents are not required to volunteer.

At Rooted & Rising we believe in empowering parents to educate their children. We allow the parent to choose the grade level for their child/children. We send out optional assessments along with applications. To assist in reading and math formation, we place students in groups based on their reading and math abilities.

It is your responsibility to register your homeschool with the State of Kansas. Your student will have work to do on their at-home days. Your job is to support the student in completing the work we have provided at home. Help them find the resources they may need to complete the assignments. Discuss the assignments with them to ensure they are grasping the content. Grade and assess student work as you feel needed. Communicate with teachers about any questions, concerns, or what your child may need more help understanding.

You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

Rooted and Rising Hybrid will take place two mornings a week. 9:00am-12:00pm. Drop off begins at 8:50 and pick-up is expected to be prompt - no later than 12:05. Three days are homeschool days. Many families may choose to designate their Fridays as review/field trip/extra curricular exploration days. Curriculum pacing will be set and communicated by your student’s Rooted & Rising teacher.
