Shabbat Shalom and Happy Chanukah!

I hope to see many of you tonight at Shabbatukah, our annual Chanukah party, where we will light the 6th candle to celebrate Chanukah and bring in Shabbat together.  I love this chance to celebrate Chanukah with my Temple family - we are a lot of fun!
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
If I don't see you tonight, don't worry!  There will be celebrating this Sunday, too!  I encourage all the kiddos to wear their festive Chanukah gear on Sunday.  We will also have a special treat as the kids leave (sufganiyot holes and gelt).

• Low of 54 and high of 65 (between 9 am-12:30 pm in Dunwoody) - We will be outside for the majority of the day.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Mark your calendars:

• SCHOOL - 12/5 and 12/12
• ​​​​​​​NO SCHOOL - 12/19, 12/26, 1/2

Please remember, if you are dropping off or picking up in CARPOOL, this is only for students in 3rd grade and older. Any student younger than 3rd grade will need to be dropped off & picked up at their classroom.
​​​​​​​
If you need EARLY PICK-UP, please send an email ahead of time or a note with your child.  EVERY child has to be signed out in the office.  We will have your child waiting for you in the office at the time of requested pick up.

Also, each child should have a refillable water bottle and an extra mask with them.  Additionally, if you want to send a nut-free snack with your child, feel free.  Challah is served as snack.

COVID protocols:

• Continuing to wear masks inside.
• Hand sanitizer is available throughout the building.​​​​​​​
• Snacks outside (weather permitting).​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

When NOT to come to class:

• If a student or a member of your family has a suspected or confirmed case of coronavirus, no member of the family should come to religious school.
• If there is a coronavirus case confirmed at your child’s Monday-Friday school that requires them to be quarantined from class, we require that all your children be quarantined from Sunday School as well.​​​​​​​
• If any member of the family has any of these symptoms, the student should not come to class:

• If your child tests positive, please let us know as soon as possible.  If the positive case happens within 2 days of being in our building, we must notify families and follow the quarantine guidance of the Georgia Department of Community Health, which means affected classrooms will be virtual the following week.
