COVID-19 Protocol Updates
Beginning Sunday, April 24, the following COVID-19 safety protocols will go in to effect:
1. We will no longer be requiring the daily health questionnaire. Please use careful consideration when sending your child to school on Sunday mornings. If your child has any COVID-19 symptoms (runny nose, cough, fever, etc.), please keep them home and protect our community.
2. Masking will be optional (but encouraged) for all OUTDOOR religious school programs. This includes: break, shabbat services, family programs, and carpool pick up and drop off.
*We have made the decision to continue to stay masked indoors, for the rest of the school year. *
3. We will now allow students, teachers, and Madrichim to bring a snack (nut-free; dairy or pareve) to school to enjoy during break. All snack must be eaten outdoors only.
If you have any questions about the new protocols, please don't hesitate to reach out.
