This schedule is not set in stone. There may be snow days, and it is possible that I may show the kids a video one week (one that would reinforce the lesson, such as a video on creation). Snow day policy: If Norwalk schools are closed, or close early, there will be no Confirmation class. If your child is sick or will miss class (such as for a school field trip, etc.), please call and let me know. Thank you.
