Message From the youth department
Now that the Yom Tov season is over, and we're getting back into the swing of things, we wanted to send a few reminders, notes and updates regarding Shabbos morning youth groups.
Firstly, beginning the Shabbos of October 20th, the younger boys' group (1-3 graders) will resume. The group will take place in Classroom 3/4, will begin at 8:45 and will end at the end of the main (9:00) minyan.
Next, a number of security concerns have arisen recently, so here are some reminders of shul policy, with some specific updates. We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring our childrens' safety.
1) For children in the baby groups, the pre-school group, and 1-3 grade groups: Children should be dropped off and picked up by a responsible parent/guardian (over the age of 13). While in groups, children are not permitted to leave by themselves, or come and go as they please. This includes leaving groups for a few minutes to get candy/say hi to a friend/go for a walk etc. Unless accompanied by an adult who has picked them up from groups, children in groups must remain in groups. This policy is to ensure our childrens' safety as well as minimize disruptions to the groups' programming.
2) Children in 3rd grade and below must either be in groups or be supervised by a responsible parent/guardian (over the age of 13). Children may be neither in the building or outside unsupervised. Again, this is to ensure out childrens' safety, as well as minimize disturbances to those trying to daven.
3) We are sending out a survey to collect information about the children attending our shul's groups on a weekly basis. The purpose of this survey is to ensure the safety of all of our children by providing the leaders' with adequate information in case of emergency and by making sure there are enough groups leaders for each group. **PLEASE NOTE**: Beginning November 3, children ages 3 and under MUST be registered in order to attend groups. If not registered, children will unfortunately not be able to attend groups until they are.
Please click here to take the youth survey.
Thank you!
