Catechism Communication

In an attempt to improve communication between Parents, Catechists, and Coordinators, the following guidelines have been drafted. All parties are equally responsible for sharing any information which may improve the quality of Catechism classes.

PARENTS:

Please ensure the Coordinator has been notified, in writing, of any health concerns your child may experience, such as diabetes, epilepsy, asthma, ADD/ ADHD, allergies, etc. Include with this information, what steps should be followed should your child experience any difficulties. This information will be shared with your child’s Catechists to enable them to properly care for your child.

Please notify your child’s Catechist of any skills that you have that you would be willing to share with the Catechism class. It may be crafts, praying, drama, phone committee, etc. The greater the input from parents, the stronger the Catechism Program will be.

Please contact the Coordinator if you have an issue concerning your child’s Catechism environment.

CATECHISTS:

Please contact your Coordinator if you have an issue concerning a child in your class. Difficulties will be discussed and possible solutions explored.

Please provide your Coordinator with a copy of any notices for parents or outside materials you wish to use in the classroom, three (3) days before they are to be distributed or used.

COORDINATOR:

I will try to provide Catechism information to Catechists and Parents when requested. If requests exceed our available information, we will request assistance from the Pastor.

I, the undersigned, will keep all medical information confidential and share only with your child’s Catechists.

Any concerns brought to the Coordinator will be treated seriously and will be addressed promptly. All parties concerned will be contacted to ensure resolution to everyone’s satisfaction.
