Parent Meeting – May 12th – 10am or 6pm
We are going to transition to a Family Based Religious Education model in September. It is certainly best-practice throughout the country. Instead of children coming once a week, alone, they will come once a month with their parents. There will be a parent meeting explaining the new program on Monday May 12 at 10:00 am or 6:00 pm in Walsh Hall. Online registration for next year will also be explained at those meetings. Parents should have already received an email inviting them to one of those meeting times.
3 Advantages of a Family-Based Model
- Parents are not picking up children whose response to “what did you learn today,” is “nothing.” Parents will be learning with them.
- Families can incorporate foundations of Catholicism into the family system to bring a greater sense of joy to the home.
- Parents with multiple children are not dropping their children off once a week on different days to learn in a classroom and tax the busy schedules
