Weizmann Day School Hadashot
November 1, 2019 / 3 Cheshvan, 5780; Candle Lighting at 5:42 pm
Please Join us for an IMPORTANT School Meeting
on Sunday, November 10th!
(Refreshments and Childcare provided!) 

Weizmann is an oasis of Jewish learning -- celebrating its 36th year! We are in a pivotal time as the last remaining Jewish Day School between North Hollywood and  Las Vegas -- and our school is facing challenges including historically low enrollment.

As local schools and Jewish institutions are struggling or closing, we know that the best way to continue to thrive is with partnership, support, and guidance from those in our community who share our passion for this special school and our vision for Jewish education and continuity in our area.
  
To that end, we invite all of our school families and community members to an important meeting on Sunday, November 10, from 3:00 to 5:00 pm, here on campus in Rooms 1-3. (Refreshments will be served.) Our board of trustees will share the key initiatives we are working on, take your questions, and will make a  special announcement.  For your convenience, childcare will be provided for Weizmann students and siblings.

Please - send at least one representative from each family to this important meeting.
Please - let us know if this is not possible. 
Please - RSVP as soon as possible with the number of adults and children so we can plan refreshments and child care accordingly. 
(Parking is limited; street parking may be your best bet!)
Student Learning Conferences!
You should have received an email with details and instructions for signing up for Student Learning Conferences with your child's academic teacher(s). Conferences are next Wednesday and Thursday, November 6 and 7; both days are 12:15 pm dismissal. (Middle School students participate in the conferences with their parents and teachers.) Do not miss this opportunity to meet one-on-one with the teachers.
Something for Everyone at Daniel Pearl Concert!
Our students and their peers from New Horizon School, St. Marks School, and B'nai Simcha lit up the stage and the guest's hearts with beautiful songs delivering messages of peace, hope, and love.


Pasadena's Mayor was also on hand along with our esteemed Heads of School.
