We need teachers in order to keep our classes small and offer choices!  Our materials are very user friendly and have helpful resources. As a thank you, we offer free tuition to families of teachers.  We can help with lesson plans, ideas, and suggestions. Team teaching, or taking turns teaching a class, can be an option depending on interest.

Volunteers are also needed to help in the classrooms, hallways, and with setting up and breaking down tables and chairs for special sessions.

Attendance Policy

  • Attendance is taken weekly.  Please email the DRE if your child will be out sick.
  • It is important for children to arrive on time and stay until class has ended.

Thank you for your support and cooperation in working with us to educate your children in their faith.  May God bless you and your families as you enjoy a safe and restful summer.
