Please post this information in a prominent place.  Reminders will be included in the parish bulletin.  Remember, attendance is important.  Please make every effort to attend all class sessions.  If your child is absent due to poor health or a school event, please call the PSR or Parish office and let us know they will not be attending.  This is a tremendous help to us and allows our records to reflect the absence correctly.  Students are limited to 3 excused absences during a semester. 

High School students are limited to 1 excused absence during the year.  Failure to adhere to this policy will result in repeating the current grade level in PSR. 

Should you move or change your phone number during the year, you can send the changes to the PSR office with your child on Wednesday evenings.  We need to have correct information in order to properly minister to your children.  Progress reports will be mailed home at the beginning of the second semester and at the end of the year.  Parents are encouraged to review the comments with their children.
