As We Head into Spring Break...
Knowing that this will be a different kind of Passover than you are used to, we hope that you are able to celebrate the days of the holiday as a family in ways that are meaningful to you.
Our teachers have been working harder than ever to adapt to the technologies of new teaching platforms, while adjusting content as appropriate to current realities and arising opportunities. As such, the respite afforded by this Pesach break is much deserved and necessary for our staff to recharge and prepare for the last stretch of school.
Our students have been working hard to adapt to these new technologies as well. In many cases this has required spending more hours than we would typically recommend using digital platforms to interact with peers and to access learning materials. We believe that a break from these activities is equally important for the health and wellbeing of our students.
As we begin Passover break on April 8th, please be aware that the following activities will be available for Yavneh students:
The APJCC will be offering camp-style programming free of charge throughout the day, accessible through the APJCC facebook page.
Lower school students will be offered optional virtual learning activities over the break through existing class choice boards.
Middle school students will be assigned school work to be completed over the break.
Please note that middle school assignments have been given with the intention that they be completed over the days of Chol HaMoed and the day immediately following the holiday (April 13, 14, 17).
We hope that you will join us for a special all-school pre-Pesach Zoom assembly this coming Tuesday, April 7th, 2:30PM, and look forward to resuming formal virtual learning via Zoom after the holiday on April 20th.
We appreciate your continued cooperation and support as our Yavneh community rises to meet the challenges and embrace the new opportunities of our time.
