Home Study

REGISTRATION AVAILABLE UNTIL Nov. 1

Home Study Faith Formation (CCE) Program

Please see the document at the left for Home Study Program Requirements & Dates for the coming program year. This document outlines the completion and credit expectations for all participant families.  Please note that these requirements pertain to only those children in grades 1-12, and are not applicable to Preschool or Kindergarten Home Study families.

As our Parent Enrichment/Homework Checkpoint meetings are conducted throughout the program year, we will list a link to the audio recording of our guest speaker below on this webpage, as well as a link to the meeting handouts, within the week following the scheduled meeting.  In order to receive credit for any missed meetings throughout the year, at least one parent is expected to listen to the audio, complete the handout discussion questions and then turn them in at the next checkpoint meeting along with their children's work.    Make-up credit for the student will be limited to two (2) absences of the parent made up in this way for in person meetings.
 

• Watch the Getting Started Welcome Video first, in its entirety.  If you have any questions, be sure to contact Ms. Joan at jhastreiter@stlaurence.org for clarification.
• Begin with the Week 1 Bible Literacy Lesson Outline and proceed from there, covering the weekly lesson outlines in order.   It is important to not skip ahead and to complete the lessons in the order that they are provided, as the material builds upon itself as you proceed.  The weekly lesson outlines can be found under the PREK & ELEMENTARY LESSON PLANS 2020-2021 section on the left bottom of this webpage.
• Home Study is self-paced.  So long as you cover the lesson outlines in the order provided order and complete them all by the last checkpoint in April, your child will receive credit. 
• Note that a weekly lesson does not necessarily equal a chapter covered.  Our focus is on the book content that will best support the weekly Essential Question (EQ) being posed each week.  Refer to the weekly lesson outlines for the specific assigned chapter pages by grade level for your student.  For a view of what your weekly lessons will cover going forward, go to the Elementary and PREK Home Study Lesson Schedule 2020-2021. 
• At the end of each curriculum Unit, complete and submit the corresponding online Unit Assessment as a family.  This will verify your children's progress through the materials and eliminate the need to upload their individual work.
• Be sure to attend the scheduled Parent Enrichment and Homework Checkpoint meetings, whether in person or in a virtual format alternative.  Keep in mind that your learner receives credit not only for their progress through the formation materials, but also for your participation in these periodic parent meetings.
