Option 1: Called to Protect for Youth: 6th through 8th grades
The Diocese of Austin has reformatted the CTPY program for the needs of this at-home year. The middle school-level lessons (6th-8th) have been combined to be one 3-part program that parents can complete with all their middle school students at one time. The teaching is through an audio presentation which includes topic discussions and student activity sheets. You can complete the program by clicking this link: www.austindiocese.org/parent and follow the instructions to complete at-home.
The program should take roughly an hour to an hour and 15 minutes to complete. Please take advantage of this program to educate your child(ren) on healthy boundaries, appropriate relationships and being safe. Note: We are happy to print out the worksheets for you, if you would like. Just email and let us know.
If you choose not to complete the program, please return the CTPY Waiver form below.
Homework: Please email the worksheets or the waiver form to livia.telles-rodriguez@stcatherine-austin.org for each child.
