Thank you for your patience and support as we begin this Religious Education year.  We appreciate the commitment and sacrifice you make to continue your child's faith formation.
Our first week of Grades 1 - 7 classes went well.  Your children were prayerful and engaged in their classrooms with their Catechists.

After much discussion with parents and Catechists and prayer the decision was made that all students in grades 2 - 7 are able to walk directly to their assigned classrooms once parents walk them to the cafeteria.  This change creates a more peaceful and ideal learning environment for the students.  Grade 1 students will continue to meet in the cafeteria and walk to the classroom with their Catechist.

On the first day of class I was on the Classroom side with the students, Catechists and a number of volunteers directing the students to their classrooms.  Classroom signs with Catechist names and class rosters were posted outside each classroom.  I can assure you the students were able to navigate well and arrived in their classroom in a timely and safe manner.  

We anticipate the subsequent weeks of class will go much smoother as everyone has been to their classroom.  We will continue to have assistance and oversight of the children as they walk to class each week.

For your convenience the full Calendar for 2019-2020 year is on the bottom of this page.

I look forward to seeing you all next week.
Blessings,
Pam Crozier
Coordinator, St. Joseph's Religious Education
