Class Cancellation Policy

Winter Weather Closure Policy

In case of inclement weather, FAITH will follow the Manchester school system closings. We will announce closings by email by 10:00am of the class day in question.

Morning delays will generally not affect us, however, if the weather clears and afternoon classes can be held, you will be notified by e-mail. 

Class Cancellations

Classes may be cancelled at any time at the leadership team’s discretion. If class is cancelled due to teacher's absence, children will be directed to an alternate appropriate activity.  In the event of class cancellation/teacher absence, reasonable effort will be made to notify parents prior to class time. Teachers work many hours outside the classroom; therefore, if classes are cancelled, tuition will not be refunded but every effort to schedule a make-up class will be made.

Supervision

All parents are required to stay at the FAITH program every week.

Dropping off your children or sending them with another family on a regular basis is not permitted.  If you have special circumstances that need to be considered, please feel free to approach the Leadership team with your concerns. 

Remain within the designated program boundaries of the church. Please DO NOT use areas of the church that Southside Bible Fellowship has not invited FAITH to use.

Registration

Registration for FAITH is simple.  Just print the document below and return it to the address listed at the bottom of the site along with your registration fee before May 31, 2013.

But I missed the cut off date! How do I get involved?

In order to best serve our students, classes are intentionally kept small.  Acceptance is first come-first served but may vary depending upon the ages of students/availability of space.  A waiting list is held in case space opens up during the course of the year, so feel free to apply at any time.  Simply fill out the form below and submit it to the address listed at the bottom of the site.  Kristina will then contact you to let you know about availability and any applicable registration costs.

4. Leaving the program due to disagreement or conflict

Instructor Biography - Sheryl G.

Sheryl G. is a graduate of the University of New Hampshire and is the founder of SKETCH, a local children's art history program.

She is passionate about turning children's natural curiosity about history into hands-on activities that will inspire, enlighten, and entertain. Explaining how God put all of the pieces of the history puzzle together is a fascinating challenge that she thoroughly enjoys.

Known as the most overly organized member of the FAITH leadership team, Sheryl enjoys well deserved ribbing for having lessons planned far in advance. Her 3 children are all part of the FAITH program, where they happily enjoy the fruits of her labor.

Sheryl is careful to present history in an approachable way, even for the youngest and most sensitive students. If you are concerned about the history topics that we will be covering in the coming year, feel free to learn more about how she presents delicate topics to young children, providing them with context and comfort.
