DISCIPLESHIP - St. Michael Parish Schools of Religion

The St. Michael Parish Discipleship Program continues the teaching mission of Jesus by providing catechesis to the children of our parish. Discipleship is Religious Education for children in 1st through 8th grade who attend public school.  The Discipleship Program uses current curriculum and is established to help students learn and understand the teachings of the Church. We commit ourselves to cooperating with and assisting parents in making the teachings of Jesus viable and meaningful in the lives of their children. To register your children for classes on Sunday (11:15AM - 12:30PM) or Tuesday (6:30PM - 7:45PM) at Saint Michael School and Formation Center, please print and submit the Discipleship Registration Form.

Discipline Policy:  Discipline is based on respect for one’s self and others. Respecting the rights of others  results in a good classroom atmosphere for educating and learning. In order to provide this atmosphere, the classroom must be free of excessively disruptive behavior so the catechist is able to focus on teaching. Therefore, the following is our procedure for discipline:

• If a student creates a disturbance to the point that the teacher cannot continue to teach, then the student will be sent to the Religious Education Office.

• The student will remain in the office the remainder of the class period and will complete any work required by the teacher. The student’s parents will be notified of their child’s behavior.
• If a student is sent to the office three times, a conference will be scheduled with the student, parents, teacher and Director of Religious Education.
• If the student’s behavior continues in an unacceptable manner, a second conference will be held which may result in the removal of the student for the remainder of the Discipleship year.
