bulletVOLUNTEER INFORMATION

In an effort to keep tuition costs down, and to facilitate the operation of the program, each family is required to choose a volunteer job for the year. You may sign up for a job at Orientation, or on the first day of class. Please contact your OPUS director for information, & to choose a job. 

bulletFamilies who do not sign up will be charged an additional $50 tuition/year.

There will be limited scholarship funds available to families needing assistance.  For questions specific to your family or about the financial assistance, please contact one of our Directors or download a scholarship application.

bulletOHMI PRIVACY POLICY
       OHMI is an educational organization involved with minors, so the Board has set policy about dissemination of information regarding your student(s). Below is the stated policy: 

Information is not given to anyone outside of OHMI unless you have given permission in written form.

To protect your child, OHMI will never put a student’s name and photo together.

Students’ names and instrument/vocal part will be printed in all programs for concerts.

Ensemble photos will be used for OHMI promotional materials -  brochures, display board, website etc.  

Parents have the option of having individual student’s photos on the website. For example, on the page with Solo & Ensemble Festival results, we can post the student’s picture (no name) and their rating for recognition. Or if there are casual photos of OHMI students (no names) those can also be posted. 

Inclusion in the Student Directory is optional – parents have the option to leave out any or all information in the directory. The Directory is published to make it easier for OHMI families to carpool or be able to contact other students to practice, etc.

I acknowledge that OHMI is in no way a ministry of First United Methodist Church of Troy , and that First United Methodist Church of Troy does not plan, administrate or oversee any of the programs or activities of OHMI. I understand that OHMI does not meet all of the Child Safety Program policies required by First United Methodist Church of Troy .

Student Behavior Expectations/Safety Guidelines & Waiver form

Student behavior:

      Students will be respectful to all teachers, students and others at all times and will not be disruptive in class. Students will be given one verbal warning, after which they will be asked to sit out the rest of the class so as not to be a distraction. If the behavior continues, parents will be notified, and other measures will be taken.  

      Inappropriate behavior, language, or dress will not be tolerated. Clothing needs to be modest, with shoulders, stomachs, and undergarments covered at all times. No vulgar or indecent shirts, or extreme clothing styles should be worn. 

      Students will be respectful of the facilities, as we are guests in the buildings, and need to leave the church in the condition it was found in. Students will also be careful of other student’s instruments & belongings, and should ask permission before using others’ property. 

      Students are expected to come to class prepared with all supplies and be ready to learn. Restrooms should be used before or after class to eliminate absence from class. We have limited instruction time, and wish to use it to the fullest. If the restroom has to be used during class, the student should ask permission from the instructor. Students will go to the restroom unescorted, but the Hall monitors will be monitoring student & visitor activity from the hallway.  

      Students should not be wandering the building at any time. They should be in class, in the study or social room if they are waiting for another class, or for a sibling, or should be signed out & leave the building with a parent, unless they have driven themselves. Students will sign in & out of OHMI, so in event of an emergency when the building must be evacuated (such as a fire), we can account for all persons after evacuation. Hall monitors will be assigned each time block to facilitate this. 
 
Parents:
      Are welcome to sit quietly in the back of class, however, if you have younger siblings with you, we ask that you take them to the social room and keep them occupied there. Parents are responsible for all children not enrolled in OHMI’s program. Parents are also responsible for students who are not in class (i.e. are finished for the day, but have not gone home). Students 10 and older may stay in the social or study room, but children under 10 should be supervised by a parent when not in class.  

In an effort to promote safety for all concerned, OHMI will strive to have 2 adults present in the classrooms during instruction time.
 

Waiver of Liability:

      We hold the teachers, directors, and coordinators of Oakland Homeschool Music, Inc. harmless for any injury that might result to a student while attending classes and activities. 

Parent’s signature: ______________________________ _____________  Date: ____________________ 

Behavior Agreement:

      Any property damage caused by a student will be the responsibility of, and be paid for/repaired by the parents.

      We have read and agree to comply with all policies and behavior and safety guidelines of Oakland Homeschool Music, Inc. 

Parent’s signature: ______________________________ _____________  Date: ____________________

Student signature(s): ______________________________ ______________________________ _______

______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ __________________ 

Medical Waiver:

      We authorize the teachers, directors, or coordinators to seek medical attention for a student in the event of an emergency. If it is life-threatening, 911 will be called, followed by the parent. If it is not life threatening, attempts will be made to contact the parents and emergency contact first before seeking medical attention. 

Parent’s signature: ______________________________ _____________  Date: ____________________
 

Parent’s phone number:_______________________ _____  Cell phone number:____________________

Emergency contact name & number:_______________________ ______________________________ __ 

If any of your children have medical issues we should be aware of, please list their name and condition below. Information will be kept confidential, and be given out only on an “as needed to know” basis.
