Greetings Adat Reyim Families,
Chag Pesach Sameach to all! We look forward to welcoming all of our students back to religious school this Sunday, April 24. We have a lot of exciting things coming up including: Yom Ha-atzmaut (Israel Independance Day), our school Shabbat service, and preparing for the end of the school year.
As a reminder, beginning this Sunday, masking will be optional outdoors but encouraged, for all outdoor religious school programs, including break. Parents may also begin to send a snack to school on Sundays for students to eat outside only while on their break. Lastly, we will not be requiring you to fill out our daily COVID questionnaire. We ask that you 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. If we see symptoms develop while at school, we will contact you to come and pick up your child.
