1. The deadline to register for all CCE classes is September 30, 2018, subject to classroom & Catechist availability.
    
2. Any students arriving late must obtain a tardy slip at the CCE office BEFORE reporting to class. Three (3) tardies will be considered one (1) unexcused absence.
    
3. A TOTAL OF THREE (3) absences in the classroom for the CCE year will lead to being ineligible for a Sacrament class:
    
   • For a Sacrament Class: The student will be dropped from the Sacrament class and placed in a regular class. They must complete the year with no additional absences and they may restart the Sacrament class the following year.
      
   • For a Pre-Requisite Class: For Sacraments (1st grade plus for First Holy Communion and 8th grade plus for Confirmation) once the student has missed 3 days, the student will continue the class but will not be eligible to register for the Sacrament class the following year (must repeat Pre-Requisite year).
4. A doctor’s excuse is required if absence is due to illness. Parents are responsible for excuse being turned in to the CCE office within a two week period. After two weeks the absence will be automatically recorded as an unexcused absence.
    
   • ** All absences from class are counted as an absence. The only consideration made for consecutive absences. 


5. PLEASE NOTE: Absences due to school/sports events are considered “AN ABSENCE”. It is the responsibility of the parents to communicate the importance of Religious Education classes to public school instructors and coaches.
    
6. A child must be present for the entire class period in order to be counted present. Early releases will be counted as an absence.
    
7. If your child should leave CCE classes/church premises without proper authorization (written permission from parents) then he/she will not be allowed to come back to class the following week unless accompanied by a parent and/or until one or both parents meet with the CRE/DRE.
