Since occasional absences affect a student's progress, we expect cooperation in keeping instances to a minimum. Scheduling of the year is done to coordinate with the public school year as much as possible, but occasional conflicts may arise.
If your child is ill or an emergency arises, please notify the RE office before classes begin at 815-758-5432 x111. If your child misses two consecutive classes without notification, or is late two or more class times, you will be contacted by the CRE.

Absent students will be required to complete assignments missed during their absences. Absences due to a sport activity do not constitute an excused absence. Any student in this category will be expected to do a make-up session or extra written work.

Repeated tardiness is not acceptable. It is disruptive to the catechist and other students. Children should arrive 5 minutes before but not more than 10 minutes before class begins, (Sundays - 9:40am).  Parents of children who are repeatedly late will be called by the CRE to discuss a solution to the problem.

Please drive slowly and carefully when you arrive and leave the building premises. The safety of your child(ren) is a priority, and your cooperation is needed. Parents of students in grades K- 4th must park car and bring children to and from classes. There will be a sign-in/out sheet that must be filled out by the parens each Sunday. No drive up and pick up is acceptable. Please park for the safety of the children.  If a sibling or older child will be doing so, parents must notify the catechist in advance.
