Parent/Student Covenant

By selecting Yes below and by enrolling your child(ren) in Religious School at Congregation Shir Ha-Ma'alot, you indicate your agreement to the above terms and conditions.

Our school atmosphere is one based on mutual respect for learning and growth. In the spirit of community, and in order to achieve our goals and ensure the integrity of our program, the following is the covenant to which the student, parent and Temple agree:

Attendance Requirements:
In order to advance to the next grade level, a Religious School student must be present for a minimum of 75% of all scheduled classes and 85% of all Hebrew Chavurah classes. If your child misses a session, please notify your child’s teacher or the Temple office as make-up assignments or materials may be given in the upper grades. To progress to the next grade, a child needs to have experienced the classroom material, as each year of study builds on the foundation of previous years of learning.

Family Involvement:
Family Camp Sunday Sessions and Parent Education days are a vital component of the Shir Ha-Ma’alot educational program. Please make sure to enter the dates of your child’s family education days into your calendar now to ensure your attendance.
