Attendance, Arrival and Dismissal

ATTENDANCE
No child can be expected to succeed in Hebrew School unless he or she attends
consistently.  While the Hebrew School has no specific attendance requirements, and
attendance is taken primarily for safety reasons, the faculty urges parents to make
sure their children miss as few classes as possible.  In the event of an absence of
more than a week, the child’s teacher should be contacted and the missed work made-
up.

ARRIVAL
Hebrew School starts promptly at 4:30 on Mondays and Wednesdays.  Children may
be dropped off at 4:10, and will be allowed to wait in the lobby until 4:20, at which time
they will be escorted to their classrooms.  Sunday School starts promptly at 9:15.  
Children may be escorted to their classrooms at 9:05.

LATE ARRIVAL AND EARLY DISMISSAL
Anyone arriving after 4:40 must accompany his/her child to class.  Parents or
guardians whose children require early pick-up must notify the teacher in writing
before class begins and must personally escort them
from the classroom and/or
sanctuary.
 No student will be allowed to leave the building alone or with a sibling.  If
usual parent or guardian will not be picking up the child, the teacher must be notified
in writing.  No child under any circumstances will be permitted to leave the synagogue
premises unless he or she is accompanied by a responsible adult.

LATE POLICY
The FJCC Hebrew School students are dismissed to the parking like at 6:15.  
Dismissal takes no more than ten minutes, all students should be picked up by 6:25.

This year the FJCC has implemented a late pickup policy.  We understand that on
occasion parents may be late to pick up their child, but excessive lateness is
unacceptable.  The policy is as follows:

Late pickup the first time parent will receive a time stamped email.  The second time,
again parent will receive a time stamped email.  On the third and following late pickup,
the following fees will post to your FJCC account.

•        From 6:15 – 6:40, you will be charged $15 each time.
•        After 6:40, you will be charged $20 each time.

You will be noticed via email on each occasion.  All late fees will appear on your
monthly statement and must be paid in full prior to registering for Hebrew School
and/or having a Bar or Bat Mitzvah.
