Spring 2010 Semester Information Tennessee Home Educators Area Resource Center |
Welcome to Thursday Connection!We are a Christian home school tutoring program. We believe strongly in the parents' ability to educate their children and wish to enable them in this endeavor. We wish to assist the home school educators, not replace them. We are not, and do not plan to become a school. We wish to minister to the parent and the child through these years of their lives. We welcome non-Christian families into our cooperative who are willing to follow our guidelines. We do not require families to sign a statement of faith. Our classes are held on Thursdays from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm at First Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
The church is located at 6900 Nubbin Ridge Road, located near the intersection of Nubbin Ridge Road and Westland off the Papermill exit. See our Where We're Located page for more information. Box Tops For EducationDon’t forget to bring in your box tops and Campbell’s labels.They are on 100’s of items you already use. Get your grandma and aunts to save them for you too. Just clip them and bring them in on Thursdays. Place them in the big Campbell’s soup bin located in the entry of school! It is a great way for Thursday Connection to earn money without a lot of work! Go to www.boxtops4education.com for a list of products Thanks! Laptops With Windows 7We have had a couple of problems with our network at Thursday Connection lately. If you have a laptop with Windows 7 for an operating system, please be aware. These are the laptops causing problems. When you first sign on to our network, your computer may ask you some questions. If the Thursday Connection Linksys router starts asking you to enter codes in order to enter our system (Linksys), please do not enter the code. This results in your computer taking over our router and blocks out everyone else. If this is not clear to you how to respond, please ask someone to help you. We have had our system taken over twice now, not intentionally, but none the less, it has caused problems. Thank you for your help with this, the Thursday Connection Board Open Gym TimeOpen Gym Time 12:00 to 12:30 For Middle and High Schoolers NO FOOD ALLOWED IN GYM (Please eat in break room.) Snow Policy ReminderOur snow policy is that we follow Knox County. If they are out, we are out. However, if they are late, say an hour or two, we are not late. Family LiaisonThursday Connection has a contact person for those interested in joining our group. Ellen Kimball is our liaison for new families. She will be happy to answer questions for any new families interested in our group. Ellen may be reached via email at ellen@thursdayconnection.org. Wondering if co-op classes would be right for your children?A once a week co-op is a great way to expose your kids to subjects you may not feel qualified to teach, to allow them to interact with other students, and for them to experience a classroom situation.

Samantha started her own video business, Deja Vu, as part of the requirements for the Business class she took at Thursday Connection. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0jlZn-KVZM If you have questions for our Administrator, email mary@thursdayconnection.org.If you have questions about Registration or Tuition, email wendy@thursdayconnection.org.If you are new to Thursday Connection and have questions, email ellen@thursdayconnection.org.Questions, Comments or Suggestions about the website may be emailed to webmaster@thursdayconnection.org.Website and all content Copyright © 2006-2007 Thursday Connection Home Schoolers' Cooperative
