St. Thomas a'Becket offers two ways for your child to complete his/her faith formation studies. Our traditional method is classroom based instruction. The other method is the Family Home Study Program. You, the parent or guardian, are the teacher. Your child will complete one Gospel Weekly packet each week as part of the lesson plan.
This is a flexible option because you choose the day of the week and time that you will do your faith formation studies with your child. It is also a wonderful way for the family to learn together and grow more in faith.
Requirements for families involved in Family Home Study:
Please notify the FF office prior to your child's absence by filling out the online attendance form. Attendance is taken each class day and excused (notified) absences are reported to the teacher.
Late arrivals should be brought to the Faith Formation office and will be escorted to their room by Faith Formation office staff. No visitors are allowed in the hallways during class time, in accordance with the policies outlined in our Safe Environments guidelines.
If your child needs to leave early, you must come to the Faith Formation office to pick up your child. An office staff member will bring your child to the office. You will be asked to fill out an Early Dismissal Form confirming that you are taking your child early.
If Plymouth-Canton Community Schools are closed due to inclement weather or illness outbreak, we will take that into consideration when determining if faith formation classes should be cancelled as well.
In the rare event that an unforeseen event causes us to cancel class, we will notify parents via email, so please be sure we have your current email address. We will also notify you via Remind and Facebook.
