Dear Fourth Grade Families,

We hope you had a wonderful summer! Welcome to an exciting year of learning in FOURTH GRADE! We have been hard at work organizing, cleaning and setting up the classrooms in anticipation of greeting your children on the first day of school. We know that the rooms are not complete until your children are added to the mix. This is going to be an exciting year, full of laughter, learning and joy!

This year, the fourth grade team includes both new and returning teachers. Humanities teacher, Hilary Davis, Hebrew teacher Rimma Berenshtein, Hebrew teacher Tomer Yanay, Math teacher Justin Schwaber, and Science teacher Sammi Butwin are beyond excited to have Shira Becher join our team as the fourth grade Judaics teacher!

DISMISSAL

We are responsible for the dismissal of your children and will be maintaining the bus and dismissal lists for your child’s class. Please send all communication regarding dismissal, bus and pick-up, directly to the whole team the day before. If there happens to be a last-minute or urgent change, please send communication by 12:00 pm the latest. Especially with this year’s daily schedule, 12pm is the latest that the team will be checking emails, specifically regarding dismissal. We appreciate your mindfulness, as we are not on email throughout the day. 

Items to make sure your child packs each day:

• Face Mask — to protect themselves and others from spreading any germs (bring at least one extra, just in case)
• Water Bottle — to keep hydrated throughout the day
  • a reminder that using the water fountain is NOT an option at this time
• Sweater/Sweatshirt/layers — with COVID regulations, windows will ALWAYS be kept open. This means that it can get VERY cold in any of our classrooms (114, 117, 118)
• Chromebook — fully charged and ready for the day

Upcoming Events:

• Back to School Night for parents; Thursday, September 9 @ 3pm [on Zoom]
• FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL for students; Monday, September 13
• Student Sukkah Night, Thursday September 23, 4:00-8:00 pm in school

Thank you for your help and partnership. We are looking forward to the first day of school! 

L’Shana Tova to you and your families!

All the best,

The Fourth Grade Team!
