Tips to Make RE More FUN!

  1. Attend regularly. Consistent attendance allows your child the opportunity to develop friendships, become better acquainted with the teachers, and develop continuity and increased understanding of the material.

  2. Dress for active participation. Our classes are creative, active places with glue, paint, games, etc.

  3. Familiarize yourself with the regular activities of the program. Talk with your child and the teachers about the activities in the class. Keep informed through the newsletter, and participate in intergenerational events together.

  4. Share your own religious beliefs with your children. Recognize that your child’s religious needs may differ from your own. Many children have a need for ritual, structure, and definitive answers to difficult questions. Support and encourage your child, wherever he/she is on the religious journey. Seek out the answers and support you need.

  5. Share some of your time and talents. Parental involvement is a key ingredient to the success of our program, and reinforces the importance of church in your child’s mind. When you are connected and having fun, so will your child.

  6. Always feel free to call the teacher, DRE, minister, or committee member with your questions, comments, or concerns.
