Permission & consent. Ohio law requires written permission from a parent or guardian before a student may attend a release-time class. Your signed registration form is that permission. Students will not be released without it.

Parent FAQ

Good questions, quick answers.

Ask us something
When do classes meet?

Once a week during your student’s lunch and recess period. Students do not miss core class instruction.

How does my child get to class?

Compass, not the school, is responsible for getting students to the off-campus location and back, and students are supervised by screened, trained volunteers.

Who will be with my child?

Compass volunteers who have completed an application, a background check, and child-safety training.

Can my child stop attending?

Yes. Participation is always voluntary. Contact us at any time.

Ready when you are.
