ATTENDANCE POLICY / TARDINESS

"The quality of Religious Experience... and the importance attached to religious instruction, including the amount of time spent on it, can influence students to perceive religion as either highly important or of little importance." (National Catechetical Directory #232)

Each class your child is to attend is very important. Their attendance and promptness is important. We realize that sometimes it is impossible to attend class, please call if your child is sick or unable to attend class. Many of our catechists have a make-up assignment that your child can do at home.

After two (3) consecutive absences without notification, we will call home to make sure everything is alright.

ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL POLICY FOR ALL PROGRAMS
