Thank you so much to all of our students for participating in our Mitzvah Day on Sunday. It was a wonderful weekend and we were so happy to celebrate Rabbi Glazer's installation together as a school community. I will post a few pictures below of the activities we participated in. And a BIG thank you to those of you who donated funds in honor of Mitzvah Day. We could not have done any of it without you!
I did want to let you all know that I will be taking some much needed time off beginning this Shabbat. I will officially be out of the office from February 5-February 19. I will not be responding to emails or messages on Remind during this time. Luckily, our amazing staff members Sara Astrow and Carolyn Amacher will be on-site during the two Sunday morning's that I will not be present for. As will our religious school committee co-chair Jessica Schwab. If you need anything while I am out, please reach out to our Executive Director, Carolyn Amacher, at execdirector@adatreyim.org or at 703-569-7577.
If your child, or anyone in your household tests positive for COVID-19 or has had a known exposure, please notify me (or Carolyn) ASAP. Please also remember if you or anyone in your household has tested positive for COVID in the last 10 days, you cannot return to school unil your quarentine is over.
Please don't forget to sign up for your minimum of three (3) Sundays throughout the school year to help with carpool pickup and drop off. We especially need more help in February and March! This will include checking that every parent has filled out their health questionnaire, managing traffic, etc. To fulfill your requirement, please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/805094FAAAE2DA5FD0-adat Those who have signed up for the next two Sundays (6th & 13th) will be receiving an email from me later today with instructions.
6th & 7th grade families: An email went out yesterday with details for your February 27th field trip to the Virginia Holocaust Museum. Please make sure you RSVP by February 20th by clicking here.
Lastly, as the month of February is now upon us, our teachers are currently in the process of writing mid-year progress reports. Progress reports will be emailed out for each child after President's Day weekend.
I look forward to seeing you all when I return in a few weeks. Have a wonderful weekend and very restful Shabbat.
