Here are the requirements for homeschooling of the sacramental classes (students preparing for First Communion or Confirmation). For homeschooling of other grades, only step 1 is necessary.1) Still register for Faith Formation and click homeschool/Catholic school under "class". You will not have to pay or fill out the policy form.
2) Attend sacramental parents meeting at the beginning of classes. Please see the Faith Formation Calendar for this date and other important dates.
3) Have your child attend and pass the corresponding Sacrament Assessment.
The Sacrament Assessment is a series of questions and answers for your student to learn in order to receive the sacrament. The assessment will be administered sometime in February or March. If the students fail the test, they will have the opportunity to retake it again until they pass before the date they receive the Sacrament.
