Attendance, Arrival and Dismissal

Attendance
No child can be expected to succeed in Hebrew School unless he or she attends
consistently.  While the Hebrew School has no specific attendance requirements,
and attendance is taken primarily for safety reasons, the faculty urges parents to
make sure their children miss as few classes as possible.  In the event of an
absence of more than a week, the child’s teacher should be contacted and the
missed work made-up.

Arrival
Hebrew School starts
promptly at 4:30 on Mondays and Wednesdays.  Children
may be dropped off at 4:10, and will be allowed to wait in the lobby until 4:20, at
which time they will be escorted to their classrooms.  Sunday School starts
promptly at 9:15.  Children may be escorted to their classrooms at 9:05.

LATE ARRIVAL AND EARLY DISMISSAL
Anyone arriving after 4:40 must accompany his/her child to class.  Parents or
guardians whose children require early pick-up must notify the teacher in writing
before class begins and must personally escort them
from the classroom and/or
sanctuary
.  No student will be allowed to leave the building alone or with a sibling.  
If usual parent or guardian will not be picking up the child, the teacher must be
notified in writing.  
No child under any circumstances will be permitted to
leave the synagogue premises unless he or she is accompanied by a
responsible adult.
