Judaic Studies Make-up Policy: If your child misses a class, his or her teacher should be contacted for any make-up work that can be done at home.
Hebrew Makeup Class: If a child in grades 3 through 7 misses Hebrew class, he or she is expected to make up the missed class the following Wednesday. This year, Hebrew makeup for grades 3 through 6 will be offered on Wednesdays only from 5:30 to 6:30 only. For 7th grade, makeup is on Mondays or Wednesdays from 5:30 to 6:30 pm. Parents must notify the office by noon if they are bringing their child so we know to have the class covered. If we find there is a need, we may seek another teacher to teach Hebrew makeup for 3rd through 6th grades on Mondays from 5:30 to 6:30. If the child attends the makeup class, the absence will be removed.
Hebrew Tutoring: We are also offering tutoring for any child who wishes extra help from 5:30 to 6:30 on Wednesdays. Again, please call the office by noon of the day you wish to bring your child to have a teacher available.
Bar/Bat Mitzvah Tutoring: At a certain point in the year before your child's Bar/Bat Mitzvah, the Rabbi will ask you to start bringing him or her on Mondays or Wednesdays from 5:30 to 6:30 pm. You can sign up in advance if you will regularly bring your child on either Mondays or Wednesdays, and we ask you to let us know if you will not be attending any particular week. Or, you can let us know by noon on the day you are bringing your child that he or she will be attending.
We are asking for your cooperation so that we will always have a teacher available for your child and so that our teachers will come only when there is a child with whom they will be working!
Procedure For Late Arrivals and Early Dismissals
We want you to be familiar with the procedures for late arrivals, early pickups, and Hebrew makeup.
On Sunday mornings when you come into school you will see two of our aides at a table in the Lobby. The table is staffed until noon. These are the Attendance Aides who take care of late arrivals and early pickups.Here are the procedures:
Late Arrivals:
Anyone arriving after 8:45 must sign in their child in the book in the Lobby. We will be keeping track of lateness during the year, because lateness is disruptive, not only to your child, but the entire class' learning experience.
Early Dismissals:
Please avoid picking up your child early if at all possible. However, if you must pick up your child early, send in a note with your child that they should give to the teacher whose class they are leaving early. When the teacher receives a note, he or she, or his or her aide, will then know to give the child any homework assignment or other information before they leave for the day. They send the note to the Lobby, so that our attendance aides can locate your child easily when you arrive.
When you arrive to take your child out early, go to the table in the Lobby and sign your child out. The aides at the table will go to the classroom to pick up the child. Parents do not go to the classrooms - our attendance aides do it.
Shabbat Attendance: Please note that all students in grades 4, 5, 6 are required to attend 12 Friday night services per year. All students in the Bar/Bat Mitzvah class are required to attend 24 Friday night services in the year preceding their Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Sign-in forms for grades 4-6 are located on the table directly in front of the Judaica Shop. Rabbi Acrish has the sign-in form for the B'nei Mitzvah class on the Bimah. Please see him after services. Sign-in forms are also available for Bar and Bat Mitzvah services on Saturday.
Winter Weather Advisory: In case of inclement weather, cancellation of classes will be announced (1) on the Temple answering machine; (2) on WMJV 105.5, WLAD 800 AM and WHUD; (3) via telephone call from a teacher. If you find that weather conditions where you live are dangerous, please do not attempt to come to school regardless of whether there is a cancellation. The safety of our children is our highest priority. There is now an additional resource for announcing cancellation. Check the home page of our website and click on the Emergency Cancellations link.
