What about Corona Virus?

Currently all students regardless of their vaccination status are asked wear masks and are socially distanced in classes. If your child or another family member has been identified as a close contact and has not tested negative please keep your chid home to quarentine. (Unlike our schools we do not have the ablity to do rapid tests to verify that a child does not have covid. ) If your child is at all sick please keep them home. If you find out shortly after a class that your child has Covid please notify us as soon as possible so we can check with the board of health as to whether or not other families need to be notified. Working together with caution we should be able to continue to meet safely so long as the public schools can.  

Will there be a remote or hybrid option?

As of right now, we do not plan to offer online classes this year. This past year showed us is that Religious Ed is most effective when it happens within the context of a community, whether that is in a class or within the family. If a family with children in grades 1-6 has serious concerns they may choose to do home study. Parents of older children are encouraged to contact the DRE to discuss what accomodations might be made to help your child keep on track.

Cost

We ask that parents do their best to make a donation of $40 per student or $100 per family, however we know that many families are struggling financially at this time and no one will be turned away if they cannot make a donation towards their child's religious education! Please do not hesitate to register your child even if you are unable to make a donation this year.
