OPEN REGISTRATION FOR Spring 2024 BEGINS 1/12/2024 and ENDS 1/23/2024.

Registration Instructions – Please read carefully!

1. Along with your children, read our schedule of classes and decide which classes each member of your family wants to take.
2. The family registration fee of $45 is required. This is your family fee for the semester, which covers insurance and site rental for HOP 🙂 Please note that the late registration fee is $50. **Our preferred payment for fees is by CHECK! There will be a $10 charge for a bounced check.**
3. For each class you register there will be a $2 admin fee added to your family registration total. This amount is due at the time of registration along with the $45 registration fee and goes toward administrative fees of the co-op.
4. You will be expected to send your fees in within 7 days of registering for classes. Please mail a check to the address you are given after registration is complete. This is the preferred method of payment. If you need to send payment digitally you can by PayPal after you finish registration.
5. Go down the list of class options and change numbers to indicate the number of people in your family that you are registering for each class listed. Be sure to do this carefully.  Check that your information is correct BEFORE going to the next page. If you have to press the “back” button,  you’ll lose your information and have to type it again.
6. Once you are sure you are done with this page, click the button at the bottom to continue the registration process.  You will be prompted to add your family information and then finalize payment on the following pages.
7. Please note that HOP meets on Wednesdays and is NOT a drop off program. A parent MUST be on site at ALL times.
   
8. Registration fees are non-refundable unless the reason for a refund request is due to a significant change made by HOP.
9. Registering for HOP requires agreeing to our Policies & Procedures, our Bullying & Harassment Policy and our Liability Waiver. Please read those pages now to speed up your registration process!
10. After you have registered, sign up for a volunteer spot on our online Volunteer Sign-up Form. (Each registered family is required to volunteer for one spot, which is a total of about 4 hours of volunteer time per semester).

What to do if you need to make a change to your existing registration – PLEASE READ

• Registering your family for classes is a COMMITMENT; please review our Drop/Add policy here.
• If you are adding classes with open spots, you can just register for those classes. You do not have to pay the registration fee again (just choose ‘Invoice’ as the payment method for additional registrations but do not send duplicate payment).
• If you need to drop or wait-list classes, please SEND AN EMAIL IMMEDIATELY TO HOMESCHOOLERSOFPINELLAS@GMAIL.COM.

Troubleshooting

• Registration with a mobile device DOES NOT WORK. We recommend registering on a desktop or laptop computer. Folks who have tried mobile devices have run into many errors. Plus, it’s easier to type in all of your contact information with a real keyboard 🙂
• Javascript is required for the registration form to function properly. If you get errors, you may need to enable javascript or turn off an adblocker. If javascript is enabled and you have no adblockers running, please try a Private Browsing window (see below).
• We recommend submitting the registration form quickly without leaving it open for extended periods. The longer the registration page is open, the more likely is the chance of technical errors.
• Registration submit buttons will not work if a required field is missing. If the Proceed to payment options button does not respond, it is because a required field is missing, empty or not filled in properly. Make sure that required fields like contact information are filled in; that required checkboxes are checked; and that email address and phone number fields are formatted correctly.

• If you receive any timeout errors please try opening a Private Browsing window. This feature is available in Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari.
