Welcome and Thank you for choosing Community!
Our Religious Education (RE) Programs are currently both online an in-person.
At Community, we practice the following online program policies and we encourage our RE Families to follow these policies as well:
What we ask of parents:
- Do not leave children unsupervised during Zoom sessions. You don't have to sit with them, but be within earshot in case of technical issues or questions.
- Video should remain ON for the duration of the RE session. This is so that the children build relationships and stay connected to each other and their teachers.
- Children should be fully clothed before coming onto Zoom calls.
What RE teachers will do on our end to prevent any problems from occurring:
- There will be two RE teachers present in every zoom session.
- RE teachers will have security controls as host and co-host of the sessions.
- The private chat function will be disabled during Zoom sessions to prevent private conversations, discursiveness and to help maintain safer online spaces.
- The screen sharing function will be allowed for children/youth only when they’ve received permission to share a project or item relevant to the program.
- While we welcome new RE families with children & youth anytime, we ask that folks follow the free registration process to help maintain safer online spaces, and attendance accuracy.
**Masks are encouraged for all children & youth participating in in-person, indoor Religious Education Programs.**
