Is your family interested in being included on community lists based on public school/neighborhood so that you can connect with other religious school families near you?
By signing my name below, my child(ren) have permission to participate in the Block Family Religious School at Temple Israel. In consideration of my child(ren)'s acceptance as a religious school student, I hereby waive any and all claims against Temple Israel, its agents and its employees that may arise out of any injury, loss or damage suffered by my child(ren) during any religious school activity. I hereby authorize the Education Director, or person designated by the Education Director, to obtain emergency medical care for my child(ren) in the event such care is indicated. I give my permission for my child(ren) to receive emergency medical care by any nurse, doctor, paramedic or member of a medical staff of a hospital licensed by the State of Florida. I understand that every effort will be made to notify a parent/guardian prior to treatment. I certify that my child(ren) is(are) in good physical health. They have my permission to participate in all activities that are part of the regular religious school program. Field trips may be arranged by Temple Israel, and transportation may include bus or vehicle driven by a classmate's parent or guardian.
At the Block Family Religious School at Temple Israel we are committed to Lifelong Jewish learning and aim to provide all students this foundation in childhood. In order to become Bat/Bar Mitzvah at Temple Israel, we expect that students in 3rd through 12th grades will attend a meaningful Jewish educational program in order to achieve this goal. Attendance at Religious School twice a week through 6th grade and once per week through 12th grade fulfills this requirement. If you do not intend to enroll your child(ren) in either, or have any issue or concern about this policy please be in touch with Morah Stefanie Posner to discuss.
From time to time your child’s photo may be taken in our classrooms or special events. We use these photos in the synagogue newsletters, on our synagogue website as well as our Facebook groups and other publicity materials.
You may have noticed that at the top of the form we begin with family information. This is intentional. The work of raising and educating Jewish children cannot be done in the school alone, but is a project of the school, the family and the community. You are not just registering your child(ren) for school today, but in fact your entire family. When you come in the building and spend time learning and volunteering with us, you make a powerful statement to your children that Jewish learning is a lifelong process and that we are all on the same team in creating these experiences for them. Don’t underestimate the subtle power of this statement! We have several days during the course of the year (see calendar for dates) on which parents can participate in programs with students inside and outside of the Temple. Please plan to join us on these days. In addition to those opportunities to participate we are in need of regular volunteers to make our school work. Would you consider supporting our school in an ongoing role or a limited engagement?
