SCHEDULE
Our program follows a weekly lesson plan; parents must call the catechist for the chapter missed or visit the website to check for the chapter missed on the "Lesson Plan". When children return to class, their catechist will provide a chapter review. Catechists keep chapter reviews for all students and keep a record of each student for the class and Mass attendance every week; therefore, children must bring a slip from mass every week.
Monthly performance evaluations will be sent to parents by the catechists. This report will include class and Mass attendance with recommendations from the catechists. For students’ performance below 60 or behavior issues, a parent-catechist meeting will follow with the Program Coordinator and Director.
ATTENDANCE
Children must be on time for classes and leave school premises on time for their safety. Parents must observe their child’s selected program schedule. The Mass attendance will be taken from the children offertory envelopes given during Parent Orientation day.
ABSENCES: 3 absences or more may delay receiving the sacraments.
Parents must send an excuse note to catechists on the day reported via email.
TARDY: 3 times tardy is considered one day absent.
