CALENDAR DATES The activities listed on this calendar are expected to be held as scheduled. However, the organizing committees or groups will advise as to the details of each event. Please do not make final plans until the details are provided, since some activities may have to be postponed, cancelled or have their dates changed. The information regarding candle lighting times was calculated to conform with the custom of lighting Our primary concern is the safety and well being of our youngsters. In order to insure their safety we ask you to comply with the following procedures: 1. No student may leave the school campus unless authorized by a parent. Students must be signed out at the front desk. All students must be accompanied by a parent or an authorized adult. 2. The security guard is employed to protect the safety of all the building’s occupants. Please fully cooperate with him. 3. Visitors may not park in the bus lanes at the entrance to the school or in our parking lots at any time. Please park in the metered parking field adjacent to the building. Parking is not permitted on Frost Lane. Please use extreme caution when entering or exiting the school grounds. Detailed regulations concerning parking and parent pickup will be sent prior to the opening of school. 4. Visitors to Brandeis are to report immediately to the front desk upon entering the school building. You will sign in and be given an ID badge. Please wear this badge throughout your visit and return it to the front desk when you leave. No one is permitted to walk through the school without permission and ID. 5. Every precaution is taken to safeguard the health of the children. Each child must have a Child Health Appraisal form on file in the Nurse’s Office. 6. Please cooperate and keep your child home if he/ she has any sign of illness. If the child contracts a contagious disease, the school must be notified at once. The school will notify all other parents in the grade. When the child returns to school, he/she must submit a doctor’s note stating that the child is free of contagion and can be readmitted to class. This is for the protection of each child in the class. 7. To be excused from participating in physical education classes, a doctor’s note is required. 8. A school nurse is in attendance daily. When illness occurs during school hours, the nurse will notify the parent in order to arrange for pick-up. State regulations forbid the dispensing of patent medicines (e.g. aspirin) without parental authorization. Prescription medicine will be dispensed only with proper written authorization from the family doctor. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SCHOOL If you wish to honor, memorialize or thank someone, an appropriate acknowledgement will be sent for various donations. Please contact the Chief Operating Officer.

Information previously listed in the calendar will now be listed in the handbook. ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT The State Department of Education has mandated that all student absences be accounted for. Students must bring a note from their parents or doctor on the first day of return. The lack of a note will cause an unexcused absence to be recorded. BIRTHDAY PARTY CELEBRATIONS The soul and purpose of a school such as ours is violated when the laws of Shabbat and/or Kashrut are ignored and the feeling of Mishpachah is destroyed. It is important that all Brandeis families be sensitive and aware of these basic Jewish laws so as not to offend one another. As expected, children in small classes become close friends. When planning parties, please follow these guidelines: A) Out of concern for the feelings of all students, no child may be singled out for omission. You must invite all the boys, or all the girls, or all children in the class or on grade level. When you cannot use one of the above options, you may invite no more than 25% of the boys and girls in another class. B) Observe Kashrut and maintain the sanctity of Shabbat and Jewish Holidays. A party is an extension of the class group and as such, food should be in accordance with the standards maintained at The Brandeis School. Parties should not be scheduled where students would be expected to violate Shabbat and Jewish holidays. Please be sensitive to sundown starting times and ending times of Shabbat and holidays. Shabbat ends 25 hours and 12 minutes after candle lighting time. C) Invitations, thank-you notes or gifts must not be distributed by children in the school. They must be mailed to the homes. CHANUKAH GIFTS TO THE STAFF By agreement with the staff, no Chanukah gifts are to be given to the faculty or administration. Parents contribute annual dues to the Parents’ Association which then has the responsibility of apportioning it on behalf of all the students. The emphasis is on good taste, Jewish humility, and meaningfulness. We urge that no individual gifts be given. LUNCH/FOOD Hot lunches are provided daily to participating students of the pre-paid lunch program. Pupils may also brown bag their school lunches. All lunches are to be limited to Kosher Dairy or Parve products. Packaged food must have Kosher certification. No meat or meat products may be brought into the building. No homemade food may be brought into the school for sharing. The school and Parents’ Association will sponsor special programs throughout the year as indicated. Please do not send lunch on these days. For the protection of our highly allergic students, we are a peanut-free and sesame-free school. No peanut or sesame products may be brought in at any time. PARENT-STAFF COMMUNICATION In order to arrange for a conference with your child’s teacher or the Head of School, please send a written note with your child, or call the school office. Please do not drop in for a meeting without an appointment, as it is a disruption to the daily school routine. No meetings with administration will be scheduled during the prime school hours of 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. Various meetings will be held throughout the school year. Curriculum review conferences will be held in September so that teachers will be able to discuss curriculum and educational goals with parents. Parent-Teacher Conferences, which are scheduled in the Fall and Spring, are held to discuss your child’s individual progress. THE BRANDEIS SCHOOL MISSION STATEMENT The Brandeis School prepares the future leaders of the Jewish community. The values of Judaism, love of Eretz Yisrael/the land of Israel permeate all aspects of school life. The children study Hebrew and Jewish texts and traditions and integrate Derekh Eretz/Jewish Ethics into their daily lives. The general studies program exceeds the standards of neighboring schools with an environment for learning that respects the individuality of each learner and targets the needs of each student.

Mishna Avot specifies the ages at which an individual should learn certain things. The Mishna says that age “thirteen is for the fulfillment of the commandments.” This is the age when a Jewish child learns about the mitzvot and begins to be responsible for following them. This is knows as Bar/Bat Mitzvah. The Bar/Bat Mitzvah, along with all the preparations, is a special time in the lives of students, families, friends and school. One of the joys of becoming a Bar/Bat Mitzvah is the celebration together with classmates and school friends. At The Brandeis School, we offer that opportunity at our daily service, either on Monday, Thursday, Rosh Chodesh or Chol Hamoed. We look forward to sharing this special time with the following students during this school year: Sophie Blank Matthew Halpert Michael Kahn Eli Kaye Muli Karudo Jacob Kupchik Jacob Myers Danielle Sellouk Abby Sreter Jeremy Sofiev Joshua Tepper SEPTEMBER THIS MONTH’S PA FUN 201 2015 ÝÛJlm\]flÛ¬ÛE]oÛ=YeadqÛ ÝÛ8ddÛJlm\]flÛN]d[ge] ÛÛÛÛN]d[ge]Û>a^lk ÝÛN]d[ge]Û9Y[cÛ:]d]ZjYlagfÛ ÝÛ?a_`Û?gda\YqÛ=gg\Û;jan] ÝÛCmf[`ÛGjg_jYeÛ9]_afkÛ ÝÛJ`g^YjÛ=Y[lgjq ÝÛIgk`Û?Yk`YfY`ÛKj]Ylk ÝÛIgk`Û?Yk`YfY`Û9Ykc]lk ÝÛN]d[ge]Û9Y[cÛ:]d]ZjYlagf ELUL 5775 – TISHREI 5776 תשרי תשע״ו- אלול תשע״ה SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY 1 17 ELUL WEDNESDAY 2 18 ELUL D Yehonaton Holzer Shabbat and Holidays end 25 hours and 12 minutes after candle lighting times THURSDAY 3 19 ELUL 22 ELUL 4 SATURDAY 20 ELUL 5 21 ELUL 7:05 D Sarah Abraham Danielle Friedman Staff Development Day N, PK, K Parent Orientation Lice Check 6 FRIDAY 7 23 ELUL 8 24 ELUL 9 25 ELUL 10 26 ELUL 11 D Liam Cohen Danielle Sellouk 1st Day of School D Jacob Karako Labor Day N–K ½ Day (Noon Dismissal) Ki Tavo 2pm Dismissal 27 ELUL 6:53 12 28 ELUL D Olivia Tepper PA High Holiday Food Drive Begins N–PK ½ Day (Noon Dismissal) N ½ Day (Noon Dismissal) Grades 1st-8th Curriculum Night 2pm Dismissal Nitzavim 13 29 ELUL D Reese Shapiro 14 1 TISHREI 6:50 15 2 TISHREI 16 3 TISHREI 17 4 TISHREI Erev Rosh Hashanah 7:14 7:47 6:41 א‘ ראש השנה Rosh Hashanah Rosh Hashanah צום גדליה 7 TISHREI 21 8 TISHREI 22 9 TISHREI 6:35 ערב יום כיפור Parents’ Association Welcome Back Celebration Erev Yom Kippur 23 10 TISHREI 6 TISHREI D Maya Arkin 24 28 Erev Sukkot 25 12 TISHREI D David Finkelsteyn Gabrielle Liechtung 29 16 TISHREI 6:29 26 13 TISHREI D Jennifer Podhorzer Lauren Podhorzer Yom Kippur 1st Day Pre-Paid Lunch Program 2pm Dismissal 15 TISHREI 6:26 11 TISHREI יום כיפור Kapparot 14 TISHREI Vayeilech 2pm Dismissal D Lihee David 1st Day of Fall ערב סוכות 19 Shofar Factory Workshop ב‘ ראש השנה Fast of Gedaliah 27 5 TISHREI Rachel Halpert ערב ראש השנה 20 18 30 Haazinu 17 TISHREI 7:23 סוכות Sukkot סוכות Sukkot חול המועד סוכות Chol Hamoed Sukkot Please Join Us!

Our vibrant Parents’ Association (PA) is comprised of dedicated parent and grandparent volunteers and is a special part of your child’s experience at The Brandeis School. The PA volunteers proudly organize a variety of enriching events during the school year that bring us together and benefit our children and school. The PA functions because of each Brandeis family paying their annual PA dues as well as PA fundraising activities throughout the school year. Together with your volunteer service and annual PA dues, the PA contributes to the school in many wonderful ways: A school-wide lunch program, a diverse variety of school celebrations, Chesed opportunities, and tangible donations to the school. Most recently, the PA gifted the beautiful, new sign that adorns the front of the school. During the school year, the PA finances the Welcome Back Celebration, implements the School Lunch Program, provides Rosh Hashanah baskets and Mishloach Manot, and subsidizes class trips including the 8th grade trip to Israel. The PA also provides the book fairs, Chanukah and Mother’s Day Boutiques, as well as special hands-on workshops for the students such as The Shofar Factory. Your PA dues help fund special “Chagim” events such as Erev Shabbat Lunches, the Chanukah Lunch, the Purim Carnival, the Passover Model Seder, and Yom Ha’atzmaut and Lag B’Omer Celebrations. The PA also recognizes our teachers and staff. On behalf of our families, the PA distributes gifts to every staff member at Chanukah and at the end of the school year. We also host a Teacher Appreciation Breakfast as well as a Recognition Lunch for our teachers and staff. The PA purchases new books for the school library and the teachers’ classroom libraries. Volunteers are always needed throughout the calendar year – from working on the school calendar and preparing the summer mailing to serving lunch on a school day or a celebration of a Chag. Our volunteers exemplify the strong spirit our families have for the school. Many volunteer opportunities exist for parents who work both in and out of the home to fulfill the requirement of 50 annual service hours. Participating in the PA is a wonderful way to support and participate in your child’s education at Brandeis while interacting socially with other parents and staff. We thank you for your support and look forward to volunteering with you in 2015-2016! Please email the Brandeis PA at BrandeisPA@gmail.com to learn how you can become involved as well as check out our Facebook page for current information: The Brandeis Parents’ Association.
