You won’t regret it!
Since the guidelines for schools and gatherings in the fall are still unclear, and the situation will probably be fluid and changing, we will remain flexible. These are the YFE principles for 2020-21:
- Judaism No Matter What – We will offer Jewish educational opportunities for your children as we shelter in place and as we venture out into whatever the new normal will be.
- No Over-promising – We will be as transparent as we possibly can as we move forward with our planning, and we won’t tell you that we’re doing things that we can’t.
- Health and Safety is Only Everything – We will keep your family’s health and safety in the forefront of everything we do, and if we have to change our plans, it will be for health and safety reasons.
- Phase one: The most likely scenario is that the school year will begin virtually with both larger T’fillah gatherings and smaller grade level classes. Our goal is to provide interesting and engaging learning experiences using online platforms and follow-up activities to do at home between classes.
- Phase two soft opening: When it’s safe to have people in the building, lead teachers will work with small groups in the temple, and the rest of the students will participate on Zoom, with the additional teachers on the team leading small group discussions and activities in break-out rooms.
- Phase three: When everything eventually “goes back to normal”, we will do that too.
