Originally, the plan for grades seven and eight was to have all students come into St. Timothy's parish hall for in-person meetings twice a month, followed by a home lesson with family.

However, our concern for the health and safety of all involved due to the uncertainty around Covid and the resultant logistics related to bringing large numbers into the parish hall (distance, seating, masking, sharing materials, etc.) and the total number of 7th and 8th grade students that have been signed up for this season, we feel the need to conduct the classes remotely via Zoom and to break up the classes in order to have fewer students per class (25+ students on a single Zoom is unmanageable) and reduce the duration of each class from 90 minutes to 45 minutes.

By breaking it up this way, we expect the student experience will be better as it makes it more manageable for the teacher to conduct a remote Zoom class and interact effectively with fewer students on the screen.

To accomplish this, we will have two Zoom classes at two different times on each day--Monday and Tuesday--and we will separate 7th and 8th graders on those days. The main change is that 7th grade students will meet from 6:00pm to 6:45pm via Zoom and 8th grade students will meet from 7:00pm to 7:45pm via Zoom.

Home lessons with parents will continue as planned and will build upon the faith lessons learned during the Zoom classes as well as offer family-centered activities.
