Attendance Policy
Because we have a lot of information to go over during the year it is important that each student be at class each week.
Students are expected to arrive to class on time. We start class promptly at 4:30pm.
No one is allowed in the classroom before 4:20pm ... I appreciate your cooperation.
Diocesan Policy states that there can be no more than three (3) absences for the entire school year. If a student is absent more than three times, a notice is sent home from the Director of Religious Education (DRE). Excessive absences may result in withholding grades.
Please note that tardiness and leaving early will count toward the total number of absences for the year. When tardy three times, this counts as one full absence. The same is true for early dismissal.
Expectations for Class
Students are expected to attend all classes.
During classes, students are expected to:
- participate in our class discussions
- act charitably - in a Christ-like manner to others
- respect others and respect the property of others
- complete all assigned classwork and homework
Students are expected to bring the following to class each week:
- a pencil or pen
- a notebook or notebook paper
- a Bible
Class Assignments, Testing & Homework
Each class will include some form of classwork (worksheets, "Do Now," writing activity, reading and the like).
In addition, homework will be assigned.
Late assignments will be marked down a full grade for each week it is not turned in.
The homework assignments are given to reinforce the concepts and information learned during the class.
You can always check the Calendar & Class Assignments page to stay up to date on what we did in class and the homework assigned each week.
