   1. 1st - 6th Grade - Only 1 unexcused absence will be allowed for our Family sessions and only 2 at home assignments can be missed.  If more than 2 at home assignments are missed and not made up then that will be marked as an unexcused absence. Absences due to a child’s illness are considered excused. Excessive absences without communication to the PREP office will result in repeating the year. Children who accumulate more than two unexcused absences will not receive credit for the completion of the year. This may affect entry into sacrament preparation processes.

5. HOMEWORK- *Home chapters are a vital component of the partnership for family formation*   We are sensitive to the fact that students get a great deal of homework in school and with that in mind our Work at Home assignments will reflect that. It is expected that together you will go through the lesson with your child(ren) and that they will complete the given assignment for each week. Completion of these lessons is necessary for their Faith Formation and DO count toward attendance. Assignments are to be returned the following Family Session.
