CBS Religious School Plan for 2022-2023/5783

Despite the changing conditions due to COVID, we are planning for in-person learning this year.  At this time vaccinations and boosters are recommended but not required and unless the local school districts change their policies we do not anticipate requiring vaccinations.  As the school year gets closer we will work with our COVID Medical Task Force to review are masking and social distancing protocols and communicate them with families.  We will continue to work towards our shared goal of providing a safe and positive learning environment.

Our learning options are:

• Kindergarten – 2nd Grades – In person Sundays from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
• 3rd-5th Grades – In person Sundays from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. AND Tuesdays from 4 to 6 p.m.
  • Either group class day can be switched out for an individual class.  Individual classes are for 20 to 30 minutes (depending on the attention span of the student) and can be any day from Sunday – Thursday.  Individual classes will be scheduled based on the availability of the student and teacher.  Individual classes may be held in-person or via Zoom and will focus primarily on Hebrew and T’filah.  There is an up-charge for individual classes.  Please see the flyer below for specifics.
