Policies andProcedures
GRADES 1 - 5
ATTENDANCE
Attendance at Religious Education classes is important for
faith formation. Please recognize the gifts of time, preparation, and
generosity that our dedicated catechists offer in order to bring the
good news to our parish children.
Any student in grades 1 through 5 who misses more than six (6) scheduled Religious
Education classes will be required to do make-up work prior to registering for the next school year.
Attendance is taken in the classroom at the beginning of
class. Please make every effort to get your child to class on time.
We do not call home
if your child is absent. It is your child/children’s
responsibility to
complete all assigned readings, homework, and tests.
CONDUCT
We are very grateful for the men and women who have
volunteered the gifts of their time and talent to our parish children.
Please encourage your sons and daughters to be respectful and courteous
at all times to both their teachers and their classmates.
If a child has a behavior problem or is disruptive in class,
he/she will be warned by the teacher. For a second occurrence, the
child will be sent to the Religious Education office and parents will
be called. The third time there is a problem, you will be asked to sit in class with your child or home-school him/her for
the remainder of the year.
ARRIVAL/DISMISSAL
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Classes
Please drop off and pick up your children at the REAR of
the school only. Students will be
dismissed at 5:00 p.m. from the rear door of the school. In the interest of safety, your child will not be dismissed early
from class without a note signed by a parent or guardian who must then come to the classroom to pick up your child.
We ask that you pick up your children promptly at 5:00 p.m.
from the playground area and escrot them to your cars. The
children are instructed not to go into the parking lot, but to wait for
the person who is bringing them home to get them on the playground and
walk them to the car.
Please abide by the traffic-pattern signs from the Church entrance to the Church parking lot. Stay
to the right as you go around the Church to the parking lot. Park
your car in the allotted spaces and walk up to the playground to pick
up your child. Please do not
park in front of the garages or in front of the St. Vincent de Paul
statue and DO NOT drive up or down the driveway from the school as this
puts the children in danger! We appreciate everyone abiding by these procedures so that the safety of our children will not be compromised.
Any time the Miller, Driscoll, or Cider Mill children are
dismissed prior to the scheduled dismissal time (even if it’s only ten
minutes), Religious Education classes for students affected by the
early dismissal are automatically cancelled. For example, at one time
the Miller/Driscoll students were dismissed early so there were no
classes for them, but classes were held for Cider Mill students.
We are an "after-school" activity so if after-school
activities are cancelled, there will be NO Religious Education classes.
In the event of inclement weather, please come into the school
to pick up your child.
SNACKS
Before class, snacks
will be available for sale. Cost of snacks is fifty cents
apiece. Snacks should be purchased before 3:55 pm.
