RELIGIOUS SCHOOL REGISTRATION
School begins the first Sunday after Labor Day Weekend
Families must be members of Congregation B’nai Tikvah to enroll children in Religious School. Registration is done on line once their membership information has been processed.

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL SCHEDULE
All students attend on Sunday mornings from 9:30am –12pm.

In addition to Sundays, students in 3rd – 7th grade also attend 1 weekday afternoon session from 4pm – 5:30pm.  The number of weekday offerings is determined by the size of each class.
RELIGIOUS SCHOOL CALENDAR
Please note that dates of school events – or even sessions – may change during the year. Read all school e-mails to keep up with changes.  Be sure to print a copy of the calendar and keep it handy!

NEW B’NAI TIKVAH MEMBERS WITH 4 – 7TH GRADERS
While Hebrew is taught beginning in Kindergarten, it becomes more intensive (twice weekly) beginning in 3rd grade. If you have a child in 4th grade or above who has never learned any Hebrew, please contact us as soon as possible to discuss preparing them for Hebrew studies. Your child will benefit from starting Hebrew over the summer. The school director will be happy to recommend a Hebrew tutor.
If your child has been enrolled in another Religious School, please call so we can listen to your child’s Hebrew and make sure he or she will fit in “skill-wise” in the appropriate grade.
MADRICHIM (TEEN SCHOOL HELPERS)
Teens who have completed a year of Midrasha (our regional teen education program) can apply to work as a paid madrich at B’nai Tikvah. Teens should contact us to apply. Positions are filled with priority for returning madrichim and then on a first come, first serve basis.
SPECIAL EDUCATION
B’nai Tikvah is very fortunate to have generous contributions from our congregants to assist students needing learning accommodations. Since each student needs an individual plan, contact the school director as soon as possible so that a plan can be ready for the first day of school.

RELIGIOUS SCHOOL COMMITTEE
The Religious School Committee works to enrich the children’s school experience. Examples of areas of interest are major school events and curriculum input.  If you seek additional information, please call the synagogue office so we can put you in touch with the current committee chair.

COMMUNICATION
Monthly e-mails keep parents abreast of school events. Teachers send out weekly e-mails to keep parents up-to-date on what children are learning as well as upcoming class activities. E-mail is also used to let parents know about volunteer opportunities throughout the year, particularly school wide holiday events.

In person meetings are always welcome! Please stop by and say hi!
