We are very happy that you and your children are here and we look forward to many years of learning and celebrating together. On this website, you will find the following materials that make up our 2010-11 Religious School Fall Packet. Please click on the appropriate link to download the following materials: 1. Beth Or Parent Handbook – The handbook contains all pertinent information about the school year including calendar, schedules, special programs, curriculum guides and school policies. Please read it carefully and save it for future reference; 2. Religious School Calendar– with schedules for the year. Post them prominently so you know when school is in session, when we have special programs, vacation days etc.; 3. Admit Slip – You must bring your admit slip to school on the first Sunday! This will tell you what classroom(s) your child(ren) will be in for the year. Students will not be admitted to class without their admit slip! 5. Opening Day Celebration & Meet the Teacher's Flyer – Come and get into the spirit of a new year of learning and celebrating! We'll introduce our theme of the year - Anu Echad - We Are One, Jews Around the World. Click the link provided to learn more about this year's theme. At the end of your session, meet your children's teachers and discover what they will be learning and doing this year, 6. Religious School Attendance Policy - We can't teach students who don't come to Religious School. Please help us make Jewish learning successful by sending your students to school on a regular basis; 7. Worship Service Attendance Policy - We encourage our families to come to at least six worship services over the course of the school year. It's a great way to build community and for students to learn the prayers; 8. Parent Volunteer Form – Please be partners with us in your children's Jewish education! Please fill out this form and return it to the Religious School Office on the first day of school. We're also looking for Classroom Parents, so please volunteer; 9.
