Welcome!

Thank you for allowing us the privilege of working with your children! Beginnings are exciting, wonderful, amazing, and awe-inspiring! The CBS Faculty are so excited that it is the start of a new year, even though this new year will be very different from those we have experienced together in the past. On Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, our computer screens, iPads, cell phones and tablets will be buzzing with the voices of students and faculty engaged in meaningful online Jewish learning and growth.

On Sundays, this year, we will offer two seventy-five-minute online morning sessions for our students in grades Pre-Kindergarten – 5. On Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays we will offer online Hebrew instruction to our 4^th and 5^th graders.

All classes will be live and taught by CBS faculty. Students will be able to interact with their teachers and classmates during class and for students grade 3 and above, individually during expanded office hours. Our revised Mifgash (morning meeting) experience will also support students’ social-emotional well-being during these challenging times.

During the summer months we learned a great deal about online learning, and we have made modifications to our program based on what we discovered. We are enthusiastic about these changes and hope they will ultimately improve online learning at our wonderful school. Every student in Kindergarten-Grade 7 will receive an individualized kit of essential school supplies and learning materials during our physically distanced pick up day at Temple on Sunday, September 13. Details about picking up these supplies will be provided in early September.
