Parents Role in Middle-School
CAP
At the middle school level parents of students are
the “private tutor” and
will allow the student to assume some independence
from the parent in the completion of assignments.
Parents should still read each assignment sheet,
assist with structuring time for the student, offer
assistance as needed, and verify each assignment is
completed in a timely manner. Parents may
contact the teacher to verify instructions when
necessary. Parents may spot-check work for
understanding of concepts. Parents are not
required to volunteer in the classroom at the middle
school level but are welcome to volunteer if they
would like.

Due to the fact that parents will
be teaching at home from the same books and
curriculum that will be used in the classroom,
parents will need to purchase some books and
curriculum. A complete and final list of items that
parents will need to purchase will be given to
families who have enrolled for the CAP following
their interview with the Middle School principal,
Megan Willink. The approximate retail cost of the
CAP books and curriculum will be $250. Parents may
order them through NPCS before July 10 to receive a
volume discount. If parents would prefer to
order each book on their own, they may find that
some of the CAP
books can be loaned from the library or purchased
online. NPCS will be ordering the books from the
Home School Building. We like to encourage people to use
the Home School Bookstore located in the Home School
Building at 5625 Burlingame Ave. SW, Wyoming, MI to
purchase their books. The Home School Building is an
important ministry to West Michigan and when we
purchase through their bookstore, it helps to keep
the ministry alive. If you are interested in
purchasing from there, we recommend that you call
the 616-532-9422 to ask
about particular titles and store hours.Class Size: 10 students minimum -
