| Hello Abraham Ratner Torah School Families! Below you will find a link to the 2020-2021 Registration Form (or you can click the tab at the top of the page). Upon completion of the Registration Form, you will be sent an editable PDF of the remaining supplemental forms. You will only need to fill out one form per family. While I have plans ready for in person instruction, we will start the year with the whole school under the distance learning format at least through the High Holy Days (mid-October). After that, once it has been determined by the State, County and our Medical Committee, those who are interested in participating in an outdoor, in person, socially distant, option will be provided that opportunity. The needs of the children and concerns from families have been at the forefront of my mind. I understand that there is a concern with screen time but also a concern with in person interaction. I am committed to offering creative learning solutions and assessments for our students while also taking into consideration class size, screen time and Hebrew and Prayer benchmarks. I will be inviting registered parents in smaller groups to Zoom meetings where I will explain the plans, weekly schedules and curriculum in more detail. I will also answer any questions that you may have. If you would like to chat before then, please feel free to send me an email at tsdirector@tiferethisrael.com and we can set up a call. I look forward to the school year and being able to interact with your children again. I appreciate your commitment to Judaism and providing the opportunity for your children to learn and grow with me and my teachers. Sincerely, Michelle Barbour Director of Jewish Education and Youth Engagement |
