Attendance Policy

Sacramental Preparation Years

(First Communion & Confirmation)

Preparation for the Sacraments requires faithful participation throughout the year.

• Students may have up to 4 absences during the program year.
• More than 4 absences will require a meeting with the Director of Religious Education.
• More than 6 absences will result in the student repeating the year before moving forward in sacramental preparation.

Non-Sacramental Grades

Consistent attendance helps children grow in faith and remain connected with their class.

• After 3 consecutive absences, the family will be contacted.
• After 5 total absences, a follow-up contact will be made.
• 7 or more absences may result in a meeting with the Director of Religious Education, placement into an alternate formation option, or withdrawal from the program.

*New* Dress Code

“No Shoulders, No Knees”
As part of our Faith Formation program, we help students grow in virtue, including an understanding of modesty and personal dignity. The way we dress is one small but meaningful part of that formation.

• No shoulders: Tops must have sleeves.
• No knees: Shorts are not permitted. Skirts, dresses, and any pants must fall below the knee (the knee should not be visible).
• Pants and jeans are welcome: Both boys and girls may wear pants or jeans, provided they fit modestly and are free of excessive rips or tears.
• Modest fit and coverage: Clothing should not be tight or see-through. Leggings, yoga pants, or similar styles should be worn only under a skirt or dress that reaches mid-thigh or longer.
• Appropriate messages and images: Please avoid crop tops, low-cut shirts, and clothing with inappropriate logos, images, or messages.
• Layers are encouraged: Classrooms can vary in temperature, so students may wish to bring a light sweater.

We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a respectful learning environment for all students. Students who arrive out of dress code may be asked to return home to change before joining class.

For Confirmation Students

• Additional Requirements:
  • Complete the Confirmation Packet.
