Unexpected/ Last Minute Absence

If an absence occurs, regardless of the reason, the participant is to complete the unit missed at home with a parent/guardian. The participant will show the completed chapter, which must include a parent/guardian signature, to their catechist upon returning to session.  If the absence takes place at the end of the trimester, the completed unit must be presented to a staff member. This does not wipe away the absence, but must be done in order to still receive credit for fully completing the trimester.

Known Absence/ Session Swap

If you know in advance that your son or daughter will need to miss a session and would like to avoid an absence, you may complete a ‘session swap’ and have them attend at a different session time during the same week they will be missing.  Session swaps may only be done twice during a trimester for Invited and Ignite, and up to four times during the program year for Receive, Chosen and OCIT. To complete a session swap, the parent/guardian MUST fill out the form via the link below.

If a participant exceeds the permitted number of ‘grace’ absences, they will not receive credit for the program and must re-enroll at a future date.
