Spring Memo from Nurse Dara

It has come to our attentions that a tick was found on one of our students. We have no way of knowing the origin of the tick, but we feel it is important to remind everyone to look over your child's entire body every day during the spring and summer months after the children have played outdoors.

Ticks are small spider like animals that bite to fasten themselves onto the skin and feed on blood. There is no need to panic if you find a tick, but it should be removed promptly. Contact your physician for further instructions.

2014 Spring Report Cards & Anecdotals

Parents of Students in Grades 1-8,

Please see below for a reminder about our 2014 Spring Report Cards & Anecdotals.

Thank you!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear BPY Parents,

Here at BPY we are gearing up for Pesach and finally Spring! Our hallways and classrooms are blooming with beautiful projects and the sounds of the upcoming Chag Ha'Aviv.

Before we know it, the end of another school year will be upon us, which of course brings with it your child(ren)'s anecdotal report card. As you know, our Judaic Studies staff comprised of Israelishlichim is one of the hallmarks of BPY. Our Judaic Studies teachers express themselves best in their native language of Hebrew and when composing your child's anecdotal report card in English, they need to do so through a third party and a process of translation.

Therefore, we would now like to offer you the option of receiving your report cards in your child's teacher's original Hebrew, for you to be able to read the teacher's narrative comments in his or her own words. Nevertheless, if you would like to continue to receive your child's Judaic Studiesanecdotal report card in English, as you have until now, we are happy to continue to provide you with an English version. Please click here to let us know your preference for the upcoming Spring 2014 term.

Thank you,

HaRav Tomer Ronen

Rosh HaYeshiva

Yom HaZikaron Community Ceremony

Reminder: Parents & Visitor Dress Code

With the arrival of the warm weather, please be reminded of our school dress code for parents and visitors:

As seen on page 23 in the 2013-2014 Parent Handbook:

"In order to send a consistent message to our children, we ask that all parents dress according to our dress code when dropping off and picking up their children and when joining us for events, meetings, trips, and special activities at school or planned by the school."

Thank you!
