To All PSR Families,
Hello, it has been awhile since we have seen you. I hope this message finds your families healthy and strong. I am contacting the PSR families with the news that we are doing PSR this year through an online program.
This change has come about in order to help keep our children and volunteers safe during these trying times. This is a one-year change and we will go back to normal classes next fall.
The Format
- After a family has registered, we will send a user name and password for each child to log into the program.
- Each week the student will log on to a website and go through the class work for that session. The parents will need to sit with the children to help them get through the material for the first few times as they get used to the new format.
- We will count each lesson as a class that needs to be done to get attendance credit for that week.
- The teachers for each grade will be able to see the progress the student makes from week to week. The teachers will then contact you if they fall behind and be there if there are any challenges. I will also be able to help in any way that I can throughout the year.
- We will also have a few gatherings throughout the year to bring the students together to pray and socialize together as a group.
We have also dropped the price to $55 per student for PSR this year (was $75 last year) and has changed the curriculum for the online program. The online program is called the Faith and Life Series from Ignatius Press.
Please go to our parish website to find the registration and permission forms for this year.
