How is the fee I pay for my students to attend CCD used?
The fees you pay for your child’s CCD education help support the program in several important ways:
- Books and Materials – Ensuring every student has the resources they need to learn.
- Teacher Support – Providing fair compensation to the dedicated instructors who guide your children.
- Building and Utilities – Covering costs for the parish space, including electricity, heating, and air conditioning, so students can learn in a safe and comfortable environment.
Who is expected to attend Adoration/Benediction?
Students in grades 1-5 are required to attend, but we always encourage all who are free to come. Older students and parents can attend and participate in adoring our lord as a community of faith.
Where do elementary, middle school and high school students sit?
- 1st-5th graders sit in assigned/labeled pews with their teachers and class
- 6th-12th graders sit where they would like unless their teachers instruct them otherwise, as those teachers may not be attending Adoration/Benediction.
Do I just drop my child off at church for Adoration/Benediction or come into church?
- You may simply drop your child off or come in to help them find their class. Students need to enter through the East (main entrance) doors of the church.
- Parents are welcome to stay and join us for Adoration and Benediction.
- We are also always looking for chaperones for each grade to help to assist the kids in benediction and getting safely to their classrooms as we head over to the school building. Sign up’s to volunteer are sent out and posted on our page above under schedule, information and forms.
My child doesnât âgetâ anything out of Benediction. Can they skip it?
Benediction is now part of our standard CCD program as we find it highly beneficial and fruitful practice for students growth with our Lord.
When and how will I receive notification of any changes to the schedule?
CRE’s and teacher - will be sending out notifications via Text/Email messages through our Flocknotes program. This will be our primary and only communication. Please ensure you sign up for Flocknotes at the top of this page under the Flocknotes sign up link.
How does the pick up and drop off line work?
- Drop off - Enter from Center St (West) and exit either Second St (East) or Ward St (South).
- Pick up - students will wait with their teachers behind the designated cone area with their teachers on the west end of the school.
- Parents enter the Center St (West) entrance of the lot and follow the marked lanes going East or South and wait for your child. You may need to signal or exit your vehicle to be seen by your child/teacher.
My child rides home with someone other than a parent. Do I need to tell someone that?
If your child should be dismissed to someone other than a parent, please send a written note with your student to class, or reach out to your student’s teacher directly with this information.
Do I need to inform someone if my child has to miss a night of religion class?
Yes, please text or email your child’s teacher to notify them.
