3 Sessions a Month, 1 will include parents
We will have 1 session a month for parents to attend during class time. Refreshments will be offered. Sometimes the sessions will include children, other times they’ll be just for parents. And we promise to have interesting and engaging sessions, we will try to not bore you with lectures 😊
Confirmation
We are changing to Confirmation Year 1 and Confirmation Year 2. We won’t refer to confirmation years as grade levels, because there may be variations in grades in these classes, depending on the needs of the child.
Calendar
Our year will begin with “Welcome Sunday” on Sunday, September 7th. Families are invited to the gym, where they will sit at tables with their catechists and other families in the class. We will present and discuss our new year. Later families will visit the classroom with their catechists. It will be a fun morning, getting to know each other. Refreshments will be served of course! See the enclosed calendar for the schedule of regular Sunday sessions.
