FAQs

Where are we located?

4901 Lees Summit Rd, Kansas City, MO 64136
Please do not contact the church with questions. We can be reached through email at stonetablestudygroup@gmail.com

Who does the teaching?
Stone Table teachers are currently a variety of homeschool parents or former homeschoolers with experience, education, or certification in their subject area. Click the Teacher Bios tab for more details.

What is the Secondary volunteer and drop-off policy?
Secondary parents should plan to volunteer for door duty and clean-up jobs for a few shifts per semester depending on number of students per classes enrolled. Melissa Jones is our secondary volunteer coordinator and will organize a rotation in the summer after rosters have been filled.  We have a few other volunteer jobs, but those are reserved for special circumstances.
Parents of driving students will still need to fulfill volunteer jobs. In some circumstances, the student may be able to complete the volunteer job in place of the parent. Those situations will require special attention and should be worked out prior to the first day of class.
Secondary students who are able to manage themselves independently may be dropped off for classes. If a student is unable to behave appropriately without a parent on site, the parent will be asked to attend classes or remain on the premises to supervise their student.

What is the Primary volunteer policy?
Primary parents rotate within the classes to help as needed as classroom aids, recess monitors, door monitors, set-up and clean-up crews.

What is the Discipline policy?
We ask all students to be mindful of these principles based on scripture:
1)     Be kind  (Ephesians 4:32)
2)    Be respectful  (Philipians 2:3-4)
3)    Be a good listener  (James 1:19)
4)   Use self-control  (Titus 2:4-8)

On occasion, a student will need a reminder.  In that case, the teacher will follow these steps depending on the situation, age of student, and class:
1)     Warning given
2)    Reminder given and follow up with parents
3)    Parent attends class with student or removes them from room (depending on age of student)

We don’t anticipate problems, but extra attention given to a poorly behaved student takes precious time away from class and it is not fair to the other students.  If the above discipline policy is ineffective, your student will be asked to leave.

What is the cost for Registration and Tuition?
Registration fees are currently $50 for the first student and $40 for each additional student.  The registration fees cover the church usage fee, liability insurance, miscellaneous cleaning & classroom supplies for all classes, and party supplies. 

Registration checks are payable to Melissa Jones who collects payments for registration. Upon enrollment, you will receive details with payment instructions. Please do not address checks to Stone Table. 

Class tuition is separate from registration and paid directly to the teacher, similar to paying for music lessons or swim lessons.  To find out the cost of each class, click on the classes page. Each class is linked to a class bio.

Do you offer refunds?
We completely understand that life happens, however, it is not the practice of the STSG instructors to offer refunds because we have reserved a spot for your student and have planned classes for the year. The commitment between parents and STSG should be for the duration of the school year. We are dependent on each of our families to make Stone Table run smoothly. Please plan carefully prior to making a commitment. We do offer partial payments but all teachers should be paid within the first couple months of class. Please see individual teacher's class bio for specific details.
