Shalom Parents,
Happy Summer to you all! I am sure some of you are planning for next year, and it would be great to have Religious School registration all taken care of.
We are in the process of planning for our coming academic year, 5784 (2023-2024), and it’s important to get crucial information from you about your children. Besides basic contact information, we ask for other details, and we appreciate it when you fill in as much information as possible about medical, emotional, learning, and any other details, differences, challenges or concerns your child has. If you’d rather schedule a time to talk about your child(ren), or have other questions/concerns, please let me know.
One of our core Jewish values at Habonim is that of Talmud Torah – the study of Torah. We strive to provide content-rich joyful lessons and programs for our students and families at Habonim. In order to plan for our incoming Religious School classes, we ask that you register your child(ren) by Friday, July 14. For returning families who register after July 14, there will be an additional $100 Administrative Fee per child added to your bill. Once you have completed your enrollment forms, the tuition charges will be added to your ShulCloud statement (within 3-4 weeks), and then you have 30 days to pay or make payment plans.
We continue to offer our refer-a-friend bonus tuition incentive program. We know that our member families are the BEST source of bringing in new members to our congregation. If your family brings in a new member family and they enroll their child(ren) in our Religious School, your family will get $180 off of your total tuition bill, and you can earn more than one bonus if you bring in more than one family (earn up to 2 bonuses). Only one bonus can be earned per new family brought in. Please email me if you have any questions, or want to connect me with potential members.
If for some reason your child is not returning to our Religious School, please alert us now.
