Hi everyone,

I hope that you had a wonderful Passover! Welcome to May...and our final few weeks of Religious School! We can't wait to see you at our Chaverim Backyard Bash on Saturday night, May 18, followed by the last day of Religious School (and Gesher graduation) on Sunday, May 19. Please plan on joining us from 11 am-12 pm for all grades! 

If you didn't get a chance, please check out what your children learned in March and April! See what your children have been learning by reading our highlights here.

Additionally, we just learned that not everyone received their bus forms from the Dept. of Transportation for New Rochelle schools. If your current K-4th grader will be taking the bus from NR schools to Beth El on Thursdays in 2024-2025, PLEASE FILL OUT THIS FORM ASAP. Please email it to  transportation@nredlearn.org and please copy me. Feel free to mention that despite the deadline being April 1, you never recieved this form from the schools.

Note: We have not finalized the start of our school year for 2024-2025 yet, but I wrote September 12 just in case. We may be starting later!!!!!!

Thanks,
Alyssa
