____________________________________________________________


POLICY AGREEMENT - These policies  must be read at the time of Registration.  These policies are required for each family in the program.
 
I hereby request that my child(ren) attend Faith Formation classes at Our Lady of Peace Parish during the 2023-2024  school year.  It is my intention to take responsibility for my child’s regular attendance at Sunday Mass and frequent reception of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. I understand that in registering for Faith Formation, I take responsibility for the commitment my family is making my child’s Faith Formation. I further agree that   Faith Formation  will be a priority to my family and  other activities will not interfere with my child’s commitment to attending class.
 
I understand that the Policy of Our Lady of Peace Parish is that students with more than four unexcused absences risk having to repeat the grade the following year.  All absences due to illness must have a doctor’s note to be excused. I agree to abide by the Parent Handbook and understand that acceptable behavior is required and that chronic disruptive behavior may result in the student being removed from the program at the discretion of the CRE. 
 
I understand that if my child(ren) lose the textbook over the course of the year, a replacement book charge of $35.00 will become payable before that book is replaced.
 
I will access the Faith Formation website and my e-mail weekly for notices and calendar.   I will check the website  on the day of class in the event of an emergency closing. 
 
2nd Grade Only–I will attend the mandatory parent meeting (date TBD and posted on the website). I will also attend the other required sessions and all sacramental meetings and practices
                         
8th Grade Only –My child will participate in all sacramental activities and attend a mandatory  Confirmation Retreat (date(s) to be posted on the website). My child will attend other required sessions and all sacramental meetings and practices. I  will also attend the mandatory parent meeting (date TBD and posted on the website
 
Home Study Only – I understand that my child must follow the curriculum of the Diocese of Camden as set up by the Religious Education office and will complete all assignments and tests.

​Any requested changes to your child’s class date or time will be subject to availability.  Please be certain of session choice - class transfers will be limited – our program has nearly 500 students therefore  transfer requests become difficult to accommodate.
