Title: To parents of sunday school students
Post by: M on August 15, 2005, 10:43:49 AM
To the parents of sunday school students.

I am getting ready to start teaching sunday school again next month.  I am looking forward to seeing the little darlings again while dreading the few problem children in the class.

I would like to remind parents of a few things:

1.  Sunday school is not babysitting.  Your children are there to learn not because they can not sit through the service.  Some families do sit together during the service and prefer not to use the sunday school.  

2.  Sunday school is not a substitute for Christian learning at home.  

3.  Do not send your children to class with toys, purses, dolls or other distractions.  

4.  Do not expect that the children will be doing a craft or getting a treat every Sunday.  We have a curriculum that we follow with certain objectives.  We would like to focus on teaching scriptures, prayer and relationships with Jesus.

5.  Please help your children complete take-home sheets and memorize the weekly verses at home.

6.  After Sunday school is over, the teachers are not responsible for your children during coffee time.  We do our best to make sure your children and safe and secure during class time.  Once you pick up your children from class, you are responsible for them.  I can not understand why parents let their children play unsupervised in the parking lot, washrooms and other rooms of the church when we have a safety program to follow during classes.  

7.  If your child has an allergy, learning or behavioural problem, please let the teachers know.  We do our best to accommodate every student.
