Grades 9 and 10 Community Service Schedule: 2020/2021

As those parents of incoming sophomores already know, there is a requirement for the Confirmation Program beginning in Grade 9 that involves community service.  This requirement was lifted last year, but is now back in effect (2021)

As disciples of Christ, we want our teens to learn how to love and serve others the way Our Lord has asked us to.

For this reason, we require each student to complete a minimum of 2 service projects per grade for a total of six hours. So, in brief, our teens will:
  
  * Complete 6 hours during their 9th grade year,
  *  & 6 hours during their 10th grade year.
  * The 6 hours must be completed in a minium of 2 projects.  All 6 hours may not be         completed  at the same project.
  * This also apples to students  in Catholic Schools, who do not attend CCD at St. Mary's

Catechist are free to organize service projects for their class , with prior approval from me.
I will also be setting up different projects throughout the year for our teens to attend that will count toward their Service Requirement.

                                Confirmation Program Absence Policy
                                         2021 - 2022 School Year

  When students are absent from class, Mr. Smith will send them a video to watch (via "Formed" or "You Tube"), along with a Google Forms Sheet of questions to answer based on the video.  They should fill out the "Google Form" and submit it to me within one week. Videos could be as long as 40 minutes or so, depending on which we see fit for the lesson in question.

This can only happen twice.  After a third absence, the student will have to attend a 75-minute make-up class with Fr. Jose.

After a fourth absence, a discussion with parents will need to take place.
