This year our registration & payment for PREP classes has moved to an online format.  The only thing you will need to print and return to Karen Yasik is Form A, which can also be scanned and emailed back if easier.

A $25 late fee will be added to registrations after August 1, 2021.

2. Form A - print out and return to Karen Yasik (can be scanned and emailed back)

As of today, we obviously don't know what fall will bring.  The diocesan office has asked us to assume we will be doing the same thing next year that we are doing this year, so for us that means a hybrid program.  I am going to go a step further and say that I would like us to be in-building for classes come fall, with the caveat that if things change for the worse, we at least now know how to pivot and go virtual.  We will probably have a "practice" class at the beginning of the year so that we work the kinks out early.

For those who choose to homeschool, I am not going to buy the digital format for next year - I think more people appreciated the actual book - so you will have to scan the work and email it to me, especially the unit tests at the end of each "group" of chapters.  I will have worksheets etc, in the google classrooms along with videos and optional activities as well.

I am also currently looking at a Family Catechesis program.  I am still getting the details from others who are using it, but it looks like we would meet once a month for group activities and to ensure parents were comfortable with the lessons, then you would take both parent and child textbooks home and go through the lessons and activities.  The following month we would meet to go over any questions, and then review that month's activities.  This would replace weeekly classes, so you would only be coming to a gathering once a month.  If you're interested, please let me know!

Changes we made in 2020 that will remain:

• You will need to bring books back and forth.  We will have crayons, pencils etc, in the rooms but text books will have to be in a bookbag with your child.
• We will continue the schedule of 3 hour-and-a-half classes in the month with a holiday (I try to pick the holiday weekend) off.  
• We will have google classrooms for each grade level and will have to do a test at some point to make sure everyone can get online.  It was great to be able to pivot quickly this year during bad weather so we didn't have to try and make any classes up at the end of the year!
• We will still enter through the front and exit through the gym area, at least until we hear differently from the diocese.  Students will still sanitize coming in, desks will still be cleaned, and at this point, no parents are allowed in the building still.
