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.
Arrival & Dismissal: Sunday students are to arrive no sooner than 11:00AM and Tuesday students no sooner than 6:15PM at the Activity Center. They are to be picked up from their classrooms at dismissal time. Parents, please do not be late!
Attendance: Students are expected to faithfully attend classes. Too many absences disrupt the faith development of the student as well as the class. If a student will be absent due to a long-term commitment, please see the student’s teacher for missed assignments.

1) Come to class prepared
2) Be attentive in class
3) Adhere to classroom rules set by the Catechist (teacher)
4) Respect feelings and ideas of others

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:
We wish to welcome all 3, 4 and 5 year olds to FROGS! Join us each Sunday morning during the 10:00 a.m. mass September through May as we discover together what it means to be a friend of God’s Son. Hear awesome stories about Jesus…sing…play…create. Make new friends as we have fun learning about God’s Son, Jesus! No need to pre-register. Drop-off and pick-up will be held in the auditorium.
Our main purpose for FROGS is to provide a program to engage three, four and five-year olds in their friendship with Jesus. Each week we will focus on God’s Word as proclaimed to the assembly. FROGS will center its program on the Liturgy of the Word. This is how we come to know Jesus. We will then reinforce the message through music, games and arts & crafts! It will be an exciting adventure each week as Jesus becomes more and more real to our youngsters!
