Application - Cover Letter 2009-2010

May 7, 2009 Dear Parent and Friend: Shalom! This letter announces the commencement of our registration process for the school year 2009/2010. The Tuition Schedule for the coming year is attached. In order to keep tuition costs the same as last year, it was decided to remove the last time slot (from 6:00 PM – 6:40 PM) of Hebrew instruction on Mondays and Wednesdays, but if no other time slot is possible, we may be able to arrange a 6:00 PM time slot one day a week. New Students: If you are registering your child for Grade four or higher and your child has had no formal religious instruction, please attach a note stating as such. If your child has attended religious school at another institution, please attach a note and last year’s report card (if possible). Depending on an assessment of your child’s skills, grade level placement will be at the discretion of the Religious School Principal. Proper class placement is necessary to help students have a good experience and will generate positive feelings for Jewish education. We will do all we can to make sure your child’s experience at the Judy and Ronald Mack School of Religious Studies is a pleasant and successful one. We will need your commitment to see that it happens. To complete the enclosed registration form, please use the following grade/track information: Kitah PreK: Sunday Only [9:00 AM – 12:00 PM] Kitah Gan (K): Sunday Only [9:00 AM – 12:00 PM] Kitah Alef (1): Sunday Only [9:00 AM – 12:00 PM] Kitah Bet (2): Sunday Only [9:00 AM – 12:00 PM] Please Note: For Monday and Wednesday tracks, instruction will be in 40-minute time slots, 4:00-4:40, 4:40-5:20, 5:20-6:00.
