Children are expected to attend each class, to be on time, and to remain until end of class. We understand unexpected circumstances arise; however, these should be rare occurrences. Attendance will be taken weekly, and tardiness disrupts the classroom environment for everyone. Students may come into the classroom ten minutes before class or once a catechist arrives.
A parent or guardian should e-mail Kim Slott at kslott@stpius.net or call the RE office at 277-5760 to report the absence of a child. Any unexcused absence will merit an e-mail or phone call from the RE office.
If absences become significant enough to impact a child’s learning (usually three absences of any kind in a semester), the RE office will call to determine, with parents, a course of action aimed at the best interests of the student. With the little time that we have for catechesis, each class is very important.
