WHO IS REQUESTING MORE INFO ABOUT VOLUNTEERING?
GIFT POLICY AND AGREEMENT

ALL CHILDREN’S SAFETY IS IMPORTANT TO US, AND IN ORDER TO ALLEVIATE POTENTIAL ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE PROBLEMS, YOUR COOPERATION IS NEEDED IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS:
SAFETY ZONE:
BE PROMPT:

Children are to arrive noearlier than 10 minutes before class time since there is no supervision. Also,remember that being late disrupts other students and catechists. It is yourresponsibility to drop off and pick up on time. There is no supervision aftersessions. It may be dark when we finish, and safety is our No. 1 priority. Ifyou are late, a call to your emergency number will be made. If it is longerthan 15 minutes it may be reported to the proper authorities. In case anemergency arises, and you cannot pick up your child in the first 15 minutesafter class is finished, please send an email to director and leave a voicemessage at 439-0124.
DROP OFF & PICK-UP FOR ALL GRADES:

Parent/Guardian must drop off and pick up each child in their classroom, and an adult must sign the child in and out. Your child will need to wait in the classroom until you come and sign them out. This is for all of the students in kindergarten through sixth grade. It will only take a few extra minutes to park your car and pick up your child. This helps us ensure the safety of all the children and is part of safe environment.
AUTHORIZED PERSONS:

Children being picked up by an adult other than the parent or guardian must have a written letter signed and dated by the parent/guardian with the names of adults allowed to pick up the child. A copy of the letter will go on file in the Religious Education Office and one to the catechist. The original letter must be given to the Director of Religious Education. A phone call will not be sufficient..
BEHAVIOR:

We ask that students come to class ready to learn and participate. Disruptive or rude behavior ruins the lesson for everyone. Our time together is only for 75 minutes. We encourage parents to have children exercise and eat healthy (no/low sugar) before class so that they can focus more easily. If child is disruptive, they will be sent to the office after warning and parent may be notified. Disciplinary action may be required, and we retain the right to allow child to remain in our program. Please speak to your child about best behavior in class. Unfortunately, we are not equipped and trained for children with special needs. If your child has a special need, please speak to the director for individual options.
SACRAMENTS:

Child(ren) must complete 2 continuous and entire years (1st–6th grades) of Religious Education at St. Anthony’s or at another Catholic Church; 6 ADDITIONAL SACRAMENT CLASSES along with their parent(s); homework assignments; and 2 Retreats as part of preparation to receive sacraments. If parent(s) have previously attended these classes for another child within the past 3 years, please fill out an exemption form on our GIFT Religious Education page..
SAFE ENVIRONMENT:
DIOCESAN FORMS:
