ATTENDANCE POLICY FOR CONFIRMATION-8th Grade

1. Candidates for Confirmation are only permitted TWO (2) absences. Sickness or a death in the family are the usual reasons for an absence, but we understand that life happens. However, our young people only have so many chances to be formed in the faith. Any more than (2) two absences may prevent the student from being prepared to make their Confirmation this spring.

2. If your child will be absent or tardy, it is required that a parent/guardian submit a written email communication to Ciro Saverino to explain the absence or tardy. Thank you in advance for your cooperation with this protocol and policy. saverino@stbenedictnj.org
