  Attendance Policy
  We require regular attendance to present information and to build understanding of concepts, prayers, and our history. Parents, please make every effort to ensure regular attendance.
  
  Arrival and Dismissal
  All doors will remain locked and unused except the double metal doors on the west side of the building. Please come with your children to the entry way. It will be very helpful if you have your children to class on time and pick them up promptly. We have just one hour for our classes in between the 8:00 and 10:30 Masses. Your help is needed. Please bring your child to class before 9:15 so all students are present to receive instruction at the same time. Please pick up your child at the dismissal time, 10:15. Children in the program must be collected by the custodial parent or their designee who has been identified on the registration form (or verbally communicated to the teacher in a specific instance.) Please ensure that all possible designees for pick up are listed on the registration form.
  
  Communication
  Since the catechist has the most direct contact with your child, parents should discuss any classroom problems with the catechist first. If the problem cannot be resolved at this level, parents should speak with the Parish Catechetical Leader (PCL), Pat Hilderbrandt. If still unresolved, the problem may be brought to Fr. Alwin Legaspi.
  Comments, suggestions, and ideas are always welcome. Please share them with the PCL by email ([email protected]) or in a written form.
  
  Emergency Class Cancellation
  If local schools are closed due to an emergency, catechetical classes will be cancelled if the emergency applies to our Sunday timeframe. If Fr. Alwin cancels classes due to weather or health concerns, he will notify us. If you have any questions about cancellation, please contact the Parish Catechetical Leader, Pat Hilderbrandt, cell: 251-609-5271 or home: 251 961 1010.
  
  Health Concerns
  Health information is collected on the Catechetical Registration Form. Catechists and other personnel are not allowed to dispense or administer medication to students.
  If your child is on medications (for ADD or other such medications), please follow their doctor’s orders in administering their medication.
  
  Student Behavior and Expectations
  Students will be expected to show respect to their teachers and classmates. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Classroom rules are posted in each classroom. At the first disruption, the
  child will be referred to classroom rules. After the second incident, the child will be sent to talk with the PCL. If inappropriate behavior continues, the parent/guardian will be contacted.
  
  All students are expected to share in the faith learning experience of the parish program. They are also expected to complete assignments and participate in group projects.
  Students attending parish catechetical sessions are expected to attend the Mass regularly, every Sunday and on Holy Days of Obligation, and to celebrate the sacraments. Parents or guardians
  are also encouraged to do so. We strive to help our students recognize this parish as their “family of faith”. To help them recognize their faith family, it is important that they celebrate
  Mass here as often as possible.
  
  Dangerous behavior
  Harassment, racial slurs, fighting, smoking, drugs, or other inappropriate (or gang related) conduct among students will not be tolerated. Violations of this rule will warrant immediate notification of parents/guardians for the child involved and may warrant suspension or even dismissal of the involved from the program. The proper civil authorities may also be notified.
  
  Weapons
  In the unlikely event a student is suspected of possessing a weapon or drugs while on parish premises or as a participant in catechetical program or a youth ministry event, the Parish Catechetical Leader (PCL) or Youth Ministry Leader (YML) will immediately notify the parents of the child. The proper civil authorities may also be notified.
  
  General Expectations
  It is expected that each family become actively involved in the parish and in the catechetical program so that by their participation they model a living, conscious and active Christian faith, and reinforce the values and attitudes for living that faith. The family and their children are expected to embrace and live these values and attitudes.
  Before a student will be permitted to participate in the catechetical program their parent or guardian must sign the Parent Consent Form which is found at the end of St. Joseph Policies Parish Catechetical Policies stating that parents and children have read these rules and policies, and that they agree to be governed by them. This form is due as part of registration.
  
  Child & Adolescent Protection Policy (CAPP)
  “All children have the right to be safe and protected from harm in all environments – home, school, religious institutions, neighborhoods, and communities. The Archdiocese of Mobile embraces this right to safety and is dedicated to promoting and ensuring the protection of
  children” (Archbishop Lipscomb, 2003). With these words, Archbishop Lipscomb issued a policy for Child Protection and education that Archbishop Thomas J. Rodi continues today. The policy requires, in part, that all children and youth in grades Pre-K – 12 be catechized on the principles listed in the Archdiocesan Child and Adolescents Protection Program. This catechesis takes place during Respect Life month which is in October. A letter will be sent to each family, notifying parents of the dates of these CAPP classes for the children and youth.
  
  In addition, the policy requires that all priests, deacons, school administrators, teachers, youth ministers, parish catechists, support personnel, coaches, and other volunteers having "substantial contact" with children attend training in the prevention and recognition of all forms of abuse against children. This program is provided by the Archdiocese. All persons who work with children in the Archdiocese of Mobile will be required to have background checks as part of the CAPP training.
  Pursuant to state law, we are required to report suspected child abuse, and we will also follow all Archdiocesan policies on such matters. If you have questions, feel free to contact the Archdiocesan Office of Child Protection.

  child will be referred to classroom rules. After the second incident, the child will be sent to talk with the PCL. If inappropriate behavior continues, the parent/guardian will be contacted.
  
  All students are expected to share in the faith learning experience of the parish program. They are also expected to complete assignments and participate in group projects.
  Students attending parish catechetical sessions are expected to attend the Mass regularly, every Sunday and on Holy Days of Obligation, and to celebrate the sacraments. Parents or guardians
  are also encouraged to do so. We strive to help our students recognize this parish as their “family of faith”. To help them recognize their faith family, it is important that they celebrate
  Mass here as often as possible.
  
  Dangerous behavior
  Harassment, racial slurs, fighting, smoking, drugs, or other inappropriate (or gang related) conduct among students will not be tolerated. Violations of this rule will warrant immediate notification of parents/guardians for the child involved and may warrant suspension or even dismissal of the involved from the program. The proper civil authorities may also be notified.
  
  Weapons
  In the unlikely event a student is suspected of possessing a weapon or drugs while on parish premises or as a participant in catechetical program or a youth ministry event, the Parish Catechetical Leader (PCL) or Youth Ministry Leader (YML) will immediately notify the parents of the child. The proper civil authorities may also be notified.
  
  General Expectations
  It is expected that each family become actively involved in the parish and in the catechetical program so that by their participation they model a living, conscious and active Christian faith, and reinforce the values and attitudes for living that faith. The family and their children are expected to embrace and live these values and attitudes.
  Before a student will be permitted to participate in the catechetical program their parent or guardian must sign the Parent Consent Form which is found at the end of St. Joseph Policies Parish Catechetical Policies stating that parents and children have read these rules and policies, and that they agree to be governed by them. This form is due as part of registration.
  
  Child & Adolescent Protection Policy (CAPP)
  “All children have the right to be safe and protected from harm in all environments – home, school, religious institutions, neighborhoods, and communities. The Archdiocese of Mobile embraces this right to safety and is dedicated to promoting and ensuring the protection of
  children” (Archbishop Lipscomb, 2003). With these words, Archbishop Lipscomb issued a policy for Child Protection and education that Archbishop Thomas J. Rodi continues today. The policy requires, in part, that all children and youth in grades Pre-K – 12 be catechized on the principles listed in the Archdiocesan Child and Adolescents Protection Program. This catechesis takes place during Respect Life month which is in October. A letter will be sent to each family, notifying parents of the dates of these CAPP classes for the children and youth.
  
  In addition, the policy requires that all priests, deacons, school administrators, teachers, youth ministers, parish catechists, support personnel, coaches, and other volunteers having "substantial contact" with children attend training in the prevention and recognition of all forms of abuse against children. This program is provided by the Archdiocese. All persons who work with children in the Archdiocese of Mobile will be required to have background checks as part of the CAPP training.
  Pursuant to state law, we are required to report suspected child abuse, and we will also follow all Archdiocesan policies on such matters. If you have questions, feel free to contact the Archdiocesan Office of Child Protection.

  Attendance Policy
  We require regular attendance to present information and to build understanding of concepts, prayers, and our history. Parents, please make every effort to ensure regular attendance.
  
  Arrival and Dismissal
  All doors will remain locked and unused except the double metal doors on the west side of the building. Please come with your children to the entry way. It will be very helpful if you have your children to class on time and pick them up promptly. We have just one hour for our classes in between the 8:00 and 10:30 Masses. Your help is needed. Please bring your child to class before 9:15 so all students are present to receive instruction at the same time. Please pick up your child at the dismissal time, 10:15. Children in the program must be collected by the custodial parent or their designee who has been identified on the registration form (or verbally communicated to the teacher in a specific instance.) Please ensure that all possible designees for pick up are listed on the registration form.
  
  Communication
  Since the catechist has the most direct contact with your child, parents should discuss any classroom problems with the catechist first. If the problem cannot be resolved at this level, parents should speak with the Parish Catechetical Leader (PCL), Pat Hilderbrandt. If still unresolved, the problem may be brought to Fr. Alwin Legaspi.
  Comments, suggestions, and ideas are always welcome. Please share them with the PCL by email ([email protected]) or in a written form.
  
  Emergency Class Cancellation
  If local schools are closed due to an emergency, catechetical classes will be cancelled if the emergency applies to our Sunday timeframe. If Fr. Alwin cancels classes due to weather or health concerns, he will notify us. If you have any questions about cancellation, please contact the Parish Catechetical Leader, Pat Hilderbrandt, cell: 251-609-5271 or home: 251 961 1010.
  
  Health Concerns
