Upcoming Jewish Holidays

Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on September 25 and will continue all day on Monday, September 26. Yom Kippur will begin at sundown on October 4 and will continue all day on October 5. Students 13 and older may be fasting on October 5 (which is part of the Yom Kippur observance). These are the holiest days in the Jewish calendar and attending services is often a high priority for Jewish families.

Click here to read the September Newsletter

Each Friday we send out three newsletters to our various stakeholder groups (parents/community, students and staff). Parents are automatically signed up for our newsletter using the information provided in Infinite Campus. People can also sign-up for the newsletter using our sign-up form and can find archives via the Get Connected page on the Parent Page. Newsletters are sent through Constant

Since we are a K-12 school, there is a lot of information that gets shared with our community each week. In order to be as efficient as possible with our limited resources, we break up the newsletter into specific sections to organize the information as best as we can for our families. For Elementary-specific news, please click on the Elementary News/Updates section. For Secondary (6-12)-specific news, please click on the Secondary News/Updates section.
