- SIGNATURES (Part 3 of 4)
- CLASS and MASS Attendance:
  Students who are preparing for First Communion or Confirmation are required to attend religious education for two years in order to prepare for the Sacrament they will be receiving. Confirmation students are also required to attend a retreat each year of the program. More important than any other requirement is to attend Mass regularly, as it is one of the Five Precepts of the Church. Students are also encouraged to participate in the Mass in a volunteer capacity. Examples of involvement include altar serving, lectoring and serving coffee and donuts. Youth involvement in the Sunday Mass, especially in leadership roles, is the clearest indicator that our programs are bearing fruit. In signing up to be part of this program, you affirm that you are willing to make this commitment.
- I understand and agree to abide by the above stated requirements.
  I Agree Please select this field.
- RELIGIOUS EDUCATION DISCIPLINE GUIDELINES
  
  Please go over the following guidelines with your child. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Geneane Ballard, Religious Education Coordinator, at 760-941-5560.
  1. Class Rules
  Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself. No teasing or swearing.
  Electronic devices must be turned off and put away and may be used with instructor/Religious Education Coordinator permission only.
  Follow directions and participate in class.
  Possession and/or use of illegal substances will not be tolerated and will result in a call to the student's parent/guardian for immediate pickup.
  2. Consequences for Broken Rules
  First consequence: Warning from teacher
  Second consequence: Meeting with teacher and/or Religious Education Coordinator
  Third consequence: If the problem persists, a conference with the parents will be called, and if no solution can be found, then suspension from the program will be warranted.
  The consequences listed above are cumulative throughout the course of the year.
  It is absolutely forbidden for any disciplinary measure to involve personal indignities, humiliation, indiscriminate punishment, sending students outside the classroom without adult supervision, or corporal punishment of any kind.
- I understand and agree to abide by the above stated Disciplinary Guidelines.
  I Agree Please select this field.
- PHOTO/VIDEO RELEASE
  This letter authorizes St. Margaret Catholic Parish of the Catholic Diocese of San Diego, its representatives, or volunteers, to photograph or record on audio and/or video (tape, digital, or online meeting platforms) my child, during Religious Education between September 2025 and June 2026. Photos, audio, or video may be used in printed materials and any other visual display or media.
  I understand that such photos and/or video recordings will be used for Religious Education related purposes and will not be used for any commercial purpose whatsoever. I therefore hereby waive any kind and all rights I may have for remuneration of any kind that could otherwise accrue for the uses of such photos and/or audio or video recordings.
- Please indicate your consent to the photo/video release: Yes - I understand and agree to abide by the above stated photo/video release. No - I do not consent to the above stated photo/video release.
- ST. MARGARET CONFIRMATION SERVICE REQUIREMENT (CONFIRMATION ONLY)
  The St. Margaret Confirmation program is centered around the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We therefore stress the importance of each student using his/her gifts to build the Kingdom of God. Students are required to complete 15 hours of service each catechetical year as part of the Confirmation program. All service needs to be completed through the parish (e.g. altar serving, lectoring, sacristan, helping with coffee and donuts, etc). Youth involvement in the Sunday Mass, especially in leadership roles, is the clearest indicator that our programs are bearing fruit. If a student is on the Parish Ministry Schedule, he/she has thereby completed their service requirement and does not need to keep track of these hours. Only students who are on the Parish Ministry Schedule will be considered for the Service Awards given at the end of the year.
  
  “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17)
  Confirmation and religious education is not merely an academic endeavor, it is an education of the whole person. Therefore, it is important for students to develop friendships of virtue and be involved in the life of the parish with each other.
- Confirmation Student: I understand and agree to the above stated Service Requirement. I Agree
- BAPTISM CERTIFICATE
  Baptismal certificates are required to complete registration for all students. Please submit a copy of your child's baptism certificate to [email protected] or at the office.
