TENTATIVE RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM 2020-2021
* Grades K-8
3 Components:
1) One Monthly Zoom Family Formation get together (~45 minutes; one Sunday morning per month. All grades. Family activity/message from Father Ronan. Our first meeting in October will be our "kick-off" where we will introduce catechists and review information for the year. We will also complete an activity.) Information and materials will be provided in the kits, as well as on the Family Resources Google Classroom.
2) One Monthly Zoom Call with grade level class and catechist (~45 minutes; day/time to be determined via short survey). Information and materials needed will be supplied in the kits and listed under the grade specific Google Classrooms.
3) Two lessons to complete at home (~30 minutes). Grade level specific. Materials will be provided in kits and information will be on the grade specific Google Classrooms.
- Please note: Grade 2 (or Sacrament Prep students) will have to submit work. Students preparing for First Reconciliation and First Communion will have to show their knowledge and understanding of concepts such as Prayers, Sacraments, Parts of the Mass, etc. This will all be clearly explained on the Grade 2 Google Classroom site as well as parent communication.)

Question Title

* 3. All Zoom sessions require 2 adults present. If we need assistance in this, are you available to help? You could be a teacher or a second adult. Being a teacher: you would need to take an online training and do a background check. Being a “second adult”: no teaching required, but you would need to take an online training and do a background check. Are you interested in more information?

Question Title

* 4. If you said Yes you can help in the question above (thank you!) please provide your name and email so we can reach out.

Question Title

* 5. Feedback on this Plan - please tell us what you think! Main question is: does this seem manageable? We want to plan a Faith Formation program that helps you, the parents, who are the first and primary educators of our Faith, foster a relationship for your child with God and grow in understanding of the Catholic beliefs. We also understand that most of us are preparing to be at home with our children and their schoolwork. Our intention is to help give parents resources, support and fun while helping them learn about the Faith.
