Greetings Adat Reyim Families,
I hope you all had a wonderful Pesach and a happy week! I can't believe that it is almost May and we only have 3 Sundays left before our End of the Year Celebration! The month of May has a lot going on so please be sure to read all communications carefully over the next few weeks. There will a one-off email about our Shabbat service and our End of the Year Celebration. Please don't forget to RSVP for our Religious School Shabbat serivce on May 6 by clicking here !
There has been a small uptick in positive COVID-19 cases in our community. Please, 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. Masks will continue to be optional, but encouraged at all outdoor programming but will continue to be required indoors throughout the school year.
