Jewish Community Initiates Special Needs Council

The Charlotte Jewish Special Needs Council is a collaborative initiative formed to promote the understanding, acceptance, and inclusion of children with special needs within the community. One of our objectives is to partner with one another to develop future programs and services for families of children with special needs, with the ultimate goal that every child within the Charlotte Jewish Community will have access to social, emotional, recreational, and educational opportunities. We need your help!

Please complete a short survey at:

Thank you! 

   

Entertainment Books 2012

A big thank you to all families who sold Entertainment Books.  We are getting closer to our goal to purchase new computers for a student computer lab.  There are so many wonderful learning opportunities for our students to explore through this technology.  Please make sure that you send any checks or money to school this Sunday.  If you have not sold your book, please try to do so.  The value is exceptional and someone you know would love to help us out and save money.  Coupons are all the rage!  All books that were sent home were to be used to promote the sale and should be returned to school if they have not been sold.  

 

"Wherever children are learning, there dwells the Divine Presence"

SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY 

Our school curriculm is based on the premise that we who call ourselves Reform Jews should be proud of our heritage as Jews, as well as the unique perspectives of the Reform movement.  We nurture the self-esteem of our students as individuals, members of families, communities, our nation, and as Reform Jews and part of the Jewish people. 


WHERE AND WHEN
Students in grades K-2 attend Religious School on Sunday mornings, grade 3-6 attend either Monday or Wednesday and Sunday and 7th (Sheva) graders meet Monday or Wednesday and one Saturday per month.  B’nei Mitzvah students meet weekly with the Cantor and student tutors for five months before the event.

Grades Eighth-Twelfth
The Consolidated Hebrew High School of Jewish Studies is a joint venture of Temple Beth El and Temple Israel. It is the primary institution of higher learning in our community for teenagers in grades 8-12. After three years of study in the Consolidated High School, a student will be confirmed at the end of the tenth grade. Students then continue in Post-Confirmation classes. Hebrew High meets on Wednesday nights from 7:00-9:00 PM.
