REMIND - TEXT MESSAGING PROGRAM
 Signing up to receive text messages from us is completely OPTIONAL but RECOMMENDED. You will continue to receive our emails as usual, and we will also continue posting announcements, documents, etc. on our website, which will remain our main source of information. However, for those that decide to sign up, Remind will be another method of quickly communicating information and reminders regarding our program. Since text messages will be sent from the Remind system, you will not be able to respond to us directly from the text. To contact us, please send us an email or call us in the office. Instructions on how to sign up to receive text messages from us were sent to the parents by email. Once again, this is completely optional. After the year is over, we will remove all the subscribers from the Remind system. If you have any questions, please contact the office. Thank you, and God bless you. |
IMPORTANT GUIDELINES AND REMINDERS
 We would just like to remind you of a few guidelines of utmost importance to keep in mind throughout the year: DRESS CODE Students should come dressed comfortably, but appropriate for class and Church. In other words, all students are expected to dress modestly. Students are NOT allowed to wear “short” shorts or “short” skirts, tank tops, sleeveless shirts/dresses, gym shorts, sweat pants, leggings, flip-flops, crocs, or distracting hair pieces (large bows, animal ears, etc.). Sports uniforms are also not permitted. Any student who continuously comes to class improperly dressed may not be allowed into their class and may be asked to go home, which could potentially count as an absence. ATTENDANCE Please remember that if it is the first or second year of preparation for a sacrament, we allow up to five (5) absences for the year, regardless of the reason, in terms of counting the year towards sacramental preparation. There are no excused or unexcused absences. A student with poor attendance and/or excessive tardiness may not have the current year count towards sacramental preparation. If a student is absent, the office may send a courtesy email to the parents to inform them of the number of absences their child has up to that point. BOOKS / SUPPLIES / BAGS All students received their books in class from their catechist. The book must be brought to class every week. Students also need to bring a pencil or pen, along with any other supplies requested by their Catechist. Only drawstring or canvas bags can be used to carry books and supplies. Regular school book bags are NOT permitted. FOOD, DRINKS, AND GUM Please remember that students may NOT bring any food or drinks, as they are not allowed inside the classrooms. In addition, gum chewing is not permitted. All of the above guidelines are taken from our “Religious Education Handbook,” which contains all the procedures that will be followed this year. If you have not done so, please make sure to read the Religious Education Handbook on our website at www.stkevinrep.org, under the “GENERAL CLASS INFO” tab. Please be sure to also check our website, www.stkevinrep.org, frequently for any announcements or new information regarding your child’s Religious Education classes, including class outlines. The website will be our primary conduit of communicating information to you. Also, please check your emails on a regular basis for any important information and reminders we may send throughout the year. Remember that we will be sending the majority of our emails through MailChimp. God bless you. |
FREE ADULT FAITH FORMATION
They will be informal conversations about our Catholic faith and how it pertains to your child and your family. The sessions will take place while your child is attending Religious Education class. They are being offered simply as an opportunity for growth in your faith in Christ and to help you share that faith with your children and family. It would be a great way to spend your time while you are here, and a bonus of not having to go out and come back to pick up your child, or having to wait outside in the heat! There is no charge, obligation, or registration involved. Simply go to Room D after you drop off your child. If you need assistance finding the room, let us know when you drop off your child. May the Grace and Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you and your family always! |
