Hebrew School Student Policies
1. Attendance
Children are expected to arrive on time to all class sessions. When
a child has been absent, he or she must bring in a note from the parent at the following
session.
All work missed must be made up. Each student is responsible for finding
out what work was covered the day(s) he or she was absent. This should be done by
speaking with the teacher or contacting another student in the class.
Consistent
attendance is very important to your child's success. PLEASE TRY TO SCHEDULE DOCTOR'S
APPOINTMENTS, ETC. DURING DAYS AND TIMES WHEN Hebrew School IS NOT IN SESSION.
Students
who are absent a disproportionate amount of time may be asked to complete extra assignments
in order to compensate for missed classes.
Those students who attain perfect or almost
perfect attendance will be recognized with incentive awards.
2. Early Dismissal
In
the event that your child must leave school before dismissal time, the following
procedures must be followed:
a) The student must bring a note from the parent giving
the details of the early dismissal. The note should be given to the teacher.
b) The
parent must come into the building and sign the child out of school. A special sign-
c) A staff member will then proceed
to the classroom to pick up your child.
d) Under no circumstances may a student arrange
to leave the building unattended and wait for a parent in the parking lot.

(Aleph -
Dismissal is a most hectic time for parents and children.
Please follow the following procedures in order to guarantee the safety and welfare
of all of our children. Please come on time so that your child will not become anguished
and upset.
a) Please park your car and come into the synagogue at the school entrance.
b) If
you arrive before 6:15 PM, please wait in the social hall and help yourself to a
cup of coffee. When classes are dismissed, I will come get you.
c) At 6:15 PM, parents
will pick up their children at their classrooms. Students will not be permitted to
leave their classroom without a parent.
4. Arriving Late
Class starts promptly at
4:14 PM. When a student arrives late for a class they should report directly to the
classroom and ask the teacher to adjust the attendance record accordingly. Coming
in late and leaving early disrupt the learning process. Please make every effort
to avoid this.
5. Snacks
Students may bring a kosher snack to our Hebrew School.
In order to develop a positive atmosphere of learning at RCBE, food may only be eaten
at snack time which will be determined by the teacher. All refuse will be thrown
out immediately. Gum chewing is not permitted during school hours.
6. Homework
We
take into account the many demands made upon your children; but for continuity's
sake, preparation and review are necessary. Hence, students are expected to complete
and hand in all homework at its due date.
7. Dress
Proper dress at Hebrew School
is important to create the proper atmosphere for study at a holy institution. Students
should dress neatly and refrain from wearing tank tops, short shorts, halter tops,
etc. We will periodically be learning prayers in the Chapel during class time and
children should be dressed accordingly. All students should wear Kippot. Hats are
not permitted.
8. Snow Alert

weather the following radio stations will announce our closings:
