Dear Noar Families,
The countdown to Opening Day, September 8th, continues!
With just a little over two weeks to go, teachers started training last Sunday. New teachers were welcomed and then the faculty spent time in a hands-on exploration of Jewish values that we strive to impart to our students. In addition, teachers learned about their strengths and discussed ways to use this to help make the experience the best it can be for your children. The training continues this week as we add in Madrichim (teen role models) and continue to learn together as a team.
What to expect on Opening DayParkingPlease park and plan to stay on September 8th. Additional parking will be available at The Dupree 6120 Powers Ferry Rd, Atlanta, Ga 30339.
ArrivalStudents are welcome to head to their classrooms from 9:15-9:30. You can walk them to the Education Wing where you will find posted lists on the wall and Madrichim to help guide you to your classroom. Feel free to say a quick “hello” to the teachers while being mindful of the need for children to settle and begin their day.
