Welcome to our new volunteers & welcome back returning volunteers!

Helpful hints and procedures are in your blue binder – please read them over!

LESSON PLANS Lesson plans and tips to help teach can be found

online at www.stannparish.org/c-r-e-catechists.

LESSON MATERIALS Lesson materials for the week can be found on

the grade-level tables in the C.R.E. hallway. Return unused & shared materials (videos, props, etc.) to the table after class.

CLASS BASKETS

Each class has their own class basket. You may keep supplies you use for your class only in these baskets – do not store shared supplies from the supply cabinet in the baskets.

CLASS ATTENDANCE FOLDER

Come to the C.R.E. Office to pick up your attendance folder at the beginning of each class and return at the end of class (some nights may have a volunteer pick up). Class Attendance sheets should be kept in the folders and attendance taken each week.

ATTENDANCE SHEET Example of Class Attendance Sheet

ABSENCE FORM After taking attendance and filling out the attendance

sheet, mark down the absent children’s names on the Absence Form (found in the supply cabinet) and turn in to the C.R.E. Office (a monitor may also come by and pick up the forms). If a child has missed 3 times, call the student’s parents and notify our office.

FORMS These forms are available to you & are located

inside the supply cabinet, in expandable file:› Absence Forms› Requisition for Materials› A Question for Mrs. Kaluza

FORMS The Traffic & Dismissal form will be ready for you to hand

out to your students at the first class. The parents must pick up their children from the classroom unless you have this completed form for the child. These forms are kept in your class folder.
