class due to a personal matter. Please help us recruit a catechist for that class.
5) Substitutes are becoming more and more difficult to recruit. If you are going to
be in need of a substitute, please look to the parents of your students. Inquire in
advance if one of them could substitute for you in the event you are unable to be
here. They would need to meet with either Eileen, Pat or Judy and complete the
necessary paperwork. Start asking your parents now.
7) Disciples should always be supervised by an adult. If you need something from the
front desk, send one of your disciples.
8) By now you should have collected all Parent Agreement Forms. Please leave all
