As our chapter of remote learning comes to a close, we are excited and prepared to open our doors to in-person classes. Please see our COVID-19 and vaccination protocols for the incoming school year to ensure that our community comes together as safely as possible.

In addition to the new students and families joining us this year, we are also welcoming some incredible new professionals to our team.We are also saying farewell to some beloved staff for whom we wish the best on their new journeys.

We are so excited to welcome our new students to the 2021-2022 school year. On Thursday, August 19, students new to Kehillah will arrive by 8:30am for a brief orientation. This orientation will include introductory activities, a technology session, and an overview of school policies and procedures. This orientation will be followed by a special schedule of classes, which will be communicated in early August.

Returning students will begin their day at 10:00am. We will follow a special schedule of classes this day. Returning students will also recieve the special schedule to be shared in early August.

Kehillah will administer the PSAT for 10th and 11th graders on the same day as the SAT. As in the years prior to COVID-19, the PSAT for juniors is the first step in qualifying for a National Merit Scholarship and also a valuable opportunity for students to take a practice standardized test.

In most years our Kinnus is an in-person, multi-day extravaganza of engaging activities and fun for our students. Last year we found a way to make this event work remotely, but we are thrilled to be back to our usual itinerary! Link below for the full info.

We invite all parents new to Kehillah to join us for an orientation on Thursday evening, August 26, at 7:00pm. You will have the opportunity to meet other new parents and several school administrators this evening. The orientation will also include a technology session, an overview of important programs, and an opportunity to ask questions. We look forward to seeing you!

Since March 2020 we made two significant changes in our schedule, initially to transition to distance learning and then to a hybrid plan this past year. Given our intention to return to campus fully in August, we can return to our pre-pandemic schedule.

In the spirit of reopening with an abundance of caution, we will keep our lunch area as outdoor seating and ask that families continue to bring their own meals. We have the intention of getting back to offering lunches eventually and will continue to watch the county COVID-19 rates to determine when that makes the most sense for our community.

We are asking that families not use Chromebooks for school. Students need devices with software downloading capabilities again, due to the, hopefully small, chance we might have to pivot to remote learning. In general, for computer science and digital art classes, a Chromebook is not powerful enough. As an institution we do not have a preference between PC or Mac devices for students. Our adult community generally uses Macs. 

We will be communicating updated shuttle information soon!
