1 HEA Religious School Parent Handbook
2 Shalom! Thank you for taking the time to read the HEA religious school handbook. The Torah is the most sacred text in Judaism and we love to compare it to a tree of life. The Talmud, arguably the second most sacred text in Judaism, asks why is Torah learning compared to a tree? The answer proposed is that just like a small piece of wood can sharpen a large piece, even the youngest, most inexperienced Jewish student can bring great wisdom to the most knowledgeable student and teacher of Torah. We are so excited for all of the Torah that your child will learn and will teach during their time at HEA. I always love the opportunity to speak with our students and families. Please do not hesitate to be in touch. Warm Regards, Rabbi Amanda Schwartz Education Director aschwartz@headenver.org Anna Szentiványi Assistant Director of Education anna@headenver.org Direct

4 Statement of Belief Last year, HEA worked closely with parents, teachers, community members and clergy to craft a statement of what we believe about Jewish education. We believe that Jewish wisdom and tradition offers tools which can... Help our children flourish as adults Guide us in developing sacred relationships Bring meaning to family life Inspire us to make the world better What/How We Teach In order for our students to learn these important tools that Judaism has to offer, our students study a values based curriculum, where they are learning Jewish holidays and stories through the lens of important Jewish values. Our students learn in a Hebrew rich environment and develop a love of Hebrew through Hebrew through Movement, tefillah (prayer) and Jewish life vocabulary, a Jewish phrase each week that helps our students gain Jewish literacy. Our school cares deeply about our children forming relationships with other young Jews, their teachers and clergy and as such we invest in activities and styles of instruction that promote community building. Drop Off/Pick Up In order to maximize our limited learning time with your child, please ensure that your child is dropped off on time for class. Children in 3rd grade and below should be dropped off and picked up by a caregiver at their classroom or in tefillah, depending on where we will be starting that day. Teachers are not available to supervise children prior to the start of class so please do not drop children off early. If your child is participating in an evening learning opportunity, we ask that you pick them up inside, so that they are not running through the parking lot in the dark. 3
5 Kehilla We hope everyone, both children and adults, will feel an integral part of our community. While we recognize close friendships often develop, we want to emphasize to both students and parents that no one should be excluded from social interaction. We parents and teachers can teach this most important lesson by reinforcing this position at home, discouraging cliques, and modeling inclusion. If you are planning a simcha, whether that is a birthday party or your child s bar or bat mitzvah, we highly encourage you to invite all students in the class to the simcha. Attendance If your child will be absent, kindly both the director and your child s teacher (see appendix for teacher directory). If you know your child will be out on a date in the future, please let us know as soon as possible. Given our small class sizes, being informed of a child s absence will help teachers plan the day in a way that ensures the best experience for all of the students. Keep in mind that many absences can make it difficult for students to feel connected to classmates or to master material. Try not to miss school unless it is absolutely necessary. That being said, if your child has had a fever within the past 24 hours, please keep your child at home. Derech Eretz Derech eretz means, the way of the land, but really it is about respectful behavior. We hope to create an environment in which derech eretz is observed, and teachers and students feel respected and valued by each other at all times. All individuals have the right to experience respectful treatment and in return will act respectfully toward all others. We also ask that everyone act responsibly toward every area of the building, including classrooms, bathrooms, lobby, and public areas both within and outside our building, and help to keep our spaces neat, clean, and cared for. Behavior/Discipline Policy The HEA Religious School values the strength and safety of our classroom and school communities. Making our community a place where every student can learn and feel safe is of utmost importance. We ensure that children engage in appropriate behavior while 4
6 in school and that all students are safe from verbal and physical aggression. Since we are all created b tzelem elohim (in God s image), the way in which we treat each other is central. Our discipline policy reflects mutual respect and responsibility. It is expected that students will conduct themselves as appropriate in any school. In each classroom at the HEA we follow these 4 Derech Eretz Rules: 1. Exhibit kavod (respect) for all people by using appropriate tone of voice and language. 2. Maintain the kedushah (holiness) of the Kehillah (community) by taking care of all physical property. 3. Be students of Talmud Torah (study of Torah) by following directions and positively contributing to the learning atmosphere. 4. Uphold Shmirat Ha Guf (protecting the body) by keeping hands and feet to yourself. Teachers are responsible for implementing a management plan that responds appropriately to both positive and negative behavior. Children are responsible for following the rules of Derech Eretz as listed above. These rules are intended to diminish disruptive, disrespectful and violent behaviors, as such behaviors are detrimental to other children and disturbing to the class as a whole. If a student breaks rules 1, 2 or 3 during the course of a school day, the consequences are as follows: First offense in a day: the teacher reminds the student of the rules and redirects behavior. Second offense in a day: the teacher talks to the student and records the event, again redirecting behavior. Third offense in a day: the teacher talks to the student, sends a note home to the parents and records the event. If a student violates rule 4, the teacher will record the event, and there will be an immediate conference with parents. Students may be removed to the Director s office for violating rule 4. If a student has repeated offenses during a two week time period, the Education Director will hold a teacher/parent conference, resulting in an action plan for the future, such as instituting a behavior contract. (adapted from Derech Eretz Policy from Oseh Shalom, MD.) Learning Styles Every child has unique strengths, and nearly every child has some unique learning styles or challenges. If your child has an IEP, health issue, or any other physical, emotional or neurological challenge, please know we want to accommodate him or her to the best of 5
7 our ability. Please be sure to communicate your child s needs to the director and teacher before school begins, or as early in the year as you are able. Electronics Our learning time is so precious and it s hard to maintain a distraction-free environment. In certain classes, a teacher may request that students bring in a device in order for them to do a class project. Unless your child has been asked to bring in such a device, please have your children leave their phones/games/electronics at home, or turned off and put away, when they come to school. If electronics are brought to school and become a distraction they may be taken away from students during class and returned to parents at the end of the day. Family Programs Each class will have 1-2 family programs a year facilitated by Shira Teed, family life director. Please mark these program dates on your calendar at the beginning of the year so that you will not miss a wonderful program with your child. The family education dates for this year are the following: Oct 14- Gan (PreK/K) Oct 28- Shoreshim (K/1st Grade) Nov 11- Gefen (2nd/3rd Grade) Dec 16- Shachar (4th/5th Grade) Mar 10- Shoreshim (K/1st Grade) Apr 7- Gefen (2nd/3rd Grade) Apr 28-Shachar (4th/5th Grade) ShinShinim Once again this year we will be blessed to work with an Israeli teen emissary, called a ShinShin or ShinShinit. The role of the teen emissary is to help our community deepen their relationship with Israel. This year our ShinShinit is named Talia. Roughly two Sundays and two Thursdays a month, Talia, will join our learners. 6
8 Food At the beginning of the year, students are able to sign up for bagels and cream cheese, which we will provide during religious school. This year the cost for bagels is $90. Students are also welcome to bring their own snack as long as the snack is either dairy or vegetarian. Any snacks brought to share communally require a kosher certification. Clothing Please send your child in clothing where they can learn with their whole bodies. Your child will be learning through all kinds of modalities so please do not send them in fancy clothing. Please also send them with weather appropriate clothing so that they can go outside, if the opportunity arises. Field Trips Your child s class may participate in learning outside of the classroom. If your child s class will be participating in a field trip, we will let you know in advance and will require a certain number of parent drivers/chaperones. Field trips offer a wonderful opportunity for parents to learn alongside their children and model lifelong Jewish learning. School Cancellation If religious school needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather, we will send an and a text message two hours before the start of school. If you have any questions as to if religious school will be meeting, please Anna@HEAdenver.org. 7
