In an effort to make our opening days for Religious Education as successful as possible for our students, staff, and teachers we will NOT be accepting new registrations/students on opening day. Please register immediately if you plan on having your children attend Religious Education and you have not done so already. All registered families should have received an email detailing opening day procedures with links to the final calendar and program information on the Parish website. If you registered and did not receive the email please contact Linda Messore.

Information for the 2016-2017 year, including a link to the calendar and opening day procedures, was emailed to registered families this past week. If you registered for classes and did not receive the information please email Linda Messore.

As outlined in the registration materials, May 31st was the final day of registration for our 2016-2017 Religious Education program. We are now working on securing teachers, reserving space and developing class lists. If you have not yet registered your child(ren) please do so as soon as possible. It is important that we have concrete registration numbers as soon as possible to adequately prepare for the Fall which will bring pastoral, staff, space and program changes. We may not be able to accommodate late registrations in the Fall due to the implications of these changes. If your child(ren) attended classes last year and you will not be registering them this year, a quick email to that effect would be greatly appreciated.

The registration form with fee information can be found on the Religious Education page of the St. John’s website. A $25 per child late fee will be assessed for registrations received after May 31st. Please note that with over 500 children in our program and a manual registration system it is impossible for us to confirm registrations. If you sent in your paperwork you can assume it is being processed as requested unless you hear from our office. Your canceled check or Parish Pay confirmation serves as your registration confirmation. If you are having trouble and/or cannot get the form to us in a timely manner, please email Linda Messore as soon as possible at linda.messore@stjohnwellesley.org and we will hold a spot for your child(ren).
