Christian Education (Youth) Guidelines and Forms
The following are guidelines, volunteer form, registration form, a registration form update (for when info on student changes midyear),for parents and Christian Education Teachers of our youth.
Procedures and Behavioral Guidelines for Christian Education (Youth) 2009-2010
Students should not only be brought to Christian Education/Sunday School, but also to Church.
The parents should be careful to bring them on time for Liturgy and, in exceptional cases of delay, should have them there in time to hear the Epistle and Gospel. The only exceptions would be a true emergency.
Upon arriving at Church, students should venerate the appropriate icons and light a candle.
Students should be taught to pray along with the Liturgy, even if they don't have a good singing voice. It is a prayer, not a concert. No belittling others for their voice, even in jest, is to be tolerated.
Students, at all times, should be respectful and remain silent when they are inside the Church. Students should not enter Church nor move about in the Nave or Narthex, nor make noises other than to pray during the following times: the Epistle reading, Gospel reading, Great Entrance, the Creed, the Anaphora, the Lord's Prayer until Communion.
While in class Students are expected to be respectful to their teachers as well as their peers at all times.
Teachers will give each student two warnings during a class period for disruptive and/or disrespectful behavior. After that point, he/she will be escorted to a designated spot where he/she will remain, until his/her teacher feels that he/she is ready to return to class.
At no time is a student allowed to leave class early or unexcused unless a parent has provided an early dismissal note to the child’s teacher before the beginning of the class period.
