After many discussions about formats, lack of teachers, safety concerns , guidelines to be followed and the possibility of another outbreak, Fr. Peter and I have decided for the health and safety of all concerned we will proceed as follows for the 2020-2021 Religious Ed year:
1.) All children will be home schooled for the year. I will coordinate all levels of curriculum and I will be in weekly contact with families via Flocknote
and/or email.
2.) I will be using Google Classroom for grades 6 thru 10 to post assignments and assessments.
3.) Grades 2 , 9 and 10 are sacramental years. All assignments must be completed before receiving any sacraments. That means that those who do not register or complete requirements for this year will delay their sacrament for another year when we expect classes to resume a usual format.
4.) Hopefully, grade 9 will be able to attend a retreat at the retreat center in CT.
If that is not possible this year, we will have a day retreat at the parish center in the spring.
5.) Grade 2 will do Sacramental Prep for Reconciliation and First Communion at home. Materials will be provided and I will also provide videos and other resources via Flocknote. Grade 2 will have one retreat in the spring in the large and small halls ( to maintain social distancing).
6.) Hard copies of materials will be provided and online access to books and resources will also be available.
The cost for homeschooling per child is $60. Please register as soon as possible so we can order supplies.

Peace and Blessings,
