Attendance Requirements
Students are required to have 75% attendance and zero unexcused absences
Students will attend seminary consistently (with no unexcused absences for released-time seminary). Attending seminary blesses students in their efforts to be lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ.
How do I excuse absences?
1. Parents Log into myseminary and update your child’s attendance
OR

Reading Requirements
Students will read specific scripture passages each term
The new required reading includes roughly 60 pages from the book of scripture. These pages have been carefully selected because of their doctrinal depth and richness. Additionally, students are encouraged to set and self-monitor personal scripture study goals. Examples of personal goals could include reading the assigned Come, Follow Me chapters, as well as reading passages in the Book of Mormon. Teachers encourage students to keep this goal and change it as necessary.
Learning Assessment
Students will take part in a group learning assessment
Seminary students will work together to complete learning assessments to engage in a collaborative and edifying experience. Seminary students will need to participate in an assessment each semester to receive credit. If students miss the group learning assessment, they can take the learning assessment on their own or with others. Students can also take the learning assessment with their teacher.
