Prayer. Daily Morning Assembly is held at the start of each day. Students and teachers plan and lead the prayers for the assembly. Students are also provided the opportunity to pray throughout the school day in the classroom, before meals and snacks, and informally. Parents and families are expected to be active participants in their children’s prayer life. Preparation for the sacraments of Reconciliation, First Eucharist, and Confirmation is provided to all. The teacher for specific educational goals plans field trips. Parents who choose to not have their student participate in class trips are required to make arrangement for the student’s care. This will be considered an unexcused absence. Field trips are viewed as a privilege rather than a right. Students can be denied participation if they fail to meet academic or behavioral requirements. The principal will encourage only those field trips that are appropriate educational experiences. On field trips there will be at least one (1) adult chaperone for every eight (8) students. All adult chaperones must have completed Protecting God’s Children and a background check. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may not bring siblings on the field trips. Permission, in writing, must be secured from parent(s) or guardian of students who go on scheduled trips. Information to the parent(s) or guardian will include the date, purpose, destination, expected student behavior, and time of return. Students who fail to return the proper permission form signed by a parent or guardian will not be allowed to participate in the field trip. Permission must be given in writing; phone calls giving permission cannot be accepted. (See Attachments: Sample Permission Forms.)
