Confirmation II Class-day Guidelines

* Be present for all classes; class starts at 9:00am-11:00am. Students are encouraged to attend Mass with their families.  Gaining proper spiritual formation is contingent upon full class participation.  More than 2 absences are considered excessive unless excused due to illness or some type of emergency.  Sporting and/or school events are important, but if they conflict with class time, it is up to you, the Confirmandi, to make the proper arrangements and decide what use of your time is most important to you.  We recommend that you let your coaches, teachers, coordinators, etc., know your Sunday schedule ahead of time.  Sporting and school events are not considered emergencies and are not excusable absences.  More than 3 unexcused absences will result in being dropped.

• TARDIES  5 minutes late, you will be given a tardy slip. 3 tardies=1 abscence.​

* If you plan on being absent for any reason, it is your responsibility to notify your Catechist and the Religious Formation Office.  You don’t want to fall behind and make-up work is a requirement. 

* You’re required to wear the St. Raphael Religious Formation polo shirt each time you attend class.  Dress modestly; screen print t-shirts, torn jeans, mini-skirts, shorts, tank tops, pajamas, and short-shorts are not allowed.  Low hanging jeans exposing undergarments are not allowed.  If you arrive to class improperly dressed, you will be sent to the office to be sent home and that will count as an absence. 

* The Catholic mass is a very special time according to Pope Francis, one that gives you the opportunity to reflect on the teachings of Christ and how they apply to you.  

* Students need be on time and prepared to participate with his/her book and materials.  In case of late arrival, stop by the office before going to class.

* All cell phones and electronic devices must be left alone and silenced during class time and especially at Mass.  You will be asked to stow your device if you’re caught using it.  If you must take a call due to an emergency during class, please notify your Catechist.  Any device may be confiscated by your Catechist if it interferes with their lesson.  You may retrieve any confiscated devices from the Religious Formation Office for $20.  

* Hall roaming is prohibited.  Any additional time spent out of class under the guise of using the restroom is unacceptable.  

* Please observe our security policy noted on our website.  You must enter and exit the building through the entrance located at the Parish Hall on 2301 Zanzibar Rd.

* Be open and receptive to any additional directives issued by the Religious Formation Office.
