Program Information
Time: Wednesdays (6pm-7:30pm) Location: SMM School Building and Hegarty Hall (See class schedule for location for that week) PROGRAM COORDINATOR: Kim Muise COMMUNICATION FOLDER COLOR: Purple TEACHING TOUCHING SAFETY: The job of ensuring children’s safety is a challenging undertaking. The prevention of child sexual abuse requires we give our children the tools they need to overcome the advances of someone who intends to do them harm. The Teaching Touching Safety program (TTS) is designed to assist parents and teachers in this important task. Junior High Faith Formation students will receive lessons 3 & 4 of this training on: October 7, 2015 in Hegarty Hall Parent Formation: As part of our movement toward Whole Community Catechesis, St. Margaret Mary RE has implemented a parent component for all of our youth faith formation programs. What does this mean? Now, instead of just your children receiving faith formation, you , too, will meet with other parents and share faith, grow in knowledge of church traditions and values and, most importantly, foster community. The parent faith formation requirement is simple- Attendance at any 5 events (See Parent Formation Page for More Information). Two events will be offered during the students classes: November 18, 2015 at 6pm in Hegarty Hall February 17, 2016 at 6pm in Hegarty Hall ARRIVAL / DISMISSAL: Children should arrive no more than 10 minutes before class begins and remain no longer than 15 minutes after class ends. No child should enter the classroom unless the teacher is present. Children must be WALKED to the designated table outside of the classroom building or Hegarty Hall. NO DROP-OFFS ON Wednesday Nights!!! For pick up, parents must park and pick-up their children from the designated classroom or Hegarty Hall only. NO EXCEPTIONS! Nine years ago a child was injured by running through the parking lot to meet their parent. Please be observant and careful… student safety is everyone’s responsibility.
