HEALTH ISSUES/CUSTODY ISSUES
If your child has any health issues, allergies, learning or emotional issues please let us know so we can make sure your needs are met
If there are custody or legal issues that you feel we need to be made aware of, please let us know so that we can better serve you and your child
EARLY PICK UP POLICY While we do allow for early
dismissal, our preference is that children are present for full sessions Early release causes
disruption to both the entire class and the catechist
If early release for the child is needed… We need notification before
class starts via a note or an email—we need to share the list of early releases with catechists beforehand so that the child will be ready when a parent arrives
Any parent picking up a child other than their own needs a written/signed note from the child’s parent It is our policy that we
do not release children to anyone else other than the child’s parents without written and signed authorization
Early release students are picked up at the faith formation office in room 102, not at the classroom

CLOSING PRAYER: PETITIONS TO SAINTS PETER & PAUL
O Holy Apostles, Peter and Paul, I choose you this day and forever to be my special patrons and advocates, you, St. Peter, Prince of the Apostles, because you are the Rock upon which almighty God has built His Church.
You, St. Paul because you were fore chosen by God as the vessel of election and the preacher of truth to the whole world.
Obtain for me, I pray you, lively faith, firm hope and burning love.
CLOSING PRAYER: PETITIONS TO SAINTS PETER & PAUL
So that, by means of your intercession and your glorious merits, I may be able to overcome the devil, and may I be made worthy of the Promises of Christ and enjoy His presence and love Him forever.
AMEN
