STUDENT AND PARENT COVENANT
|
In lieu of a handbook, we have developed a Covenant for the students and parents to sign each year for faith formation. This agreement allows students and parents to participate in their learning and show ownership and commitment to the program. We are in this together and signing the covenant helps all of us to continue our faith formation journey.
