Dismissal
If a child needs to be dismissed, please advise us as soon as possible as doors will be locked at all times.  No adult will be allowed to pull their child from the classroom. 

Our Lady of Mount Carmel understand emergencies arise, if early dismissal is required, please call 508-993-4704 and select Faith Formation. All calls are directed to Michelle Barbosa’s personal cell phone. Students will only be released to Parents/Legal Guardian unless specified in writing. No student will be allowed to leave during class times unless Michelle Barbosa is notified directly in writing or phone call. Students will be picked up from the main office, located in the Parish Hall. 


Safety & Security
With safety in mind,  please hold all questions until after all students and catechists have been dismissed.  We understand there is a moment between Mass and gathering; the focus needs to be on the students and preparing for the transition. We welcome you to enter and walk your children in, but please hold your questions for the end, after classes have ended at 10:30 am.  

Doors will be locked while students are in the building.  


Classes 
Classes are 8:30 am - 10:30 am Mass is a part of the class time. It is our hopes that we can renew everyone's Baptismal promise, to keep the flame alive, engage the conversation. You are not just doing a disservice skipping Mass, but it's sending the wrong message and hurting everyone involved. 
We have an amazing group of Catechists who are eager to share their Faith with our youth. We want to encourage engagement, even if it's just attending Mass, prayer, a meal together.


CellPhones 
As a show of respect, cellphone use are prohibited during Mass and class time. As a parent, I understand the need to equip children with phones for emergencies.  Cellphones can be on person but they are to be placed on silence/vibrate.  If it is seen or in use it will be confiscated and returned at the end of class.  If students are responsible and respectful, as will we.
