Parent Orientation
We encourage all  parents  to join us for the  parent   orientation .   It will be an opportunity to meet the teachers and learn about expectations and outlines for the year.  Please note there will be a new format this year  for Kindergarten through Grade 8 where teachers and  parents  can meet over coffee and refreshments in an informal setting. Please understand this is not meant to take the place of  Parent  Teacher Conferences and if you have any specific or private questions for a teacher, please schedule a meeting for another time. Pre-School and Daycare will have teacher presentations from 6:30-7.

UJA 2018 Super Mitzvah
Dear Akiva Families,

We ask everyone to help make this Super Mitzvah Sunday a success by volunteering between 12 and 2 when Akiva is taking a shift. Please bring your family as it is a family friendly event and we will help raise money for our community and our school. We need to have at least 10 volunteers on our shift. Please let the office know if you are able to volunteer. 

Thank you
Everyone Counts
