Religious school

After discussion with our GLT Re-opening Committee (ROC) and in keeping with Fulton county’s decision to start the year virtually for the safety of their students, we have decided that it is best for our families to keep Religious School virtual for the 1st semester. We will reevaluate for the second semester in hopes for a return to Face-to-Face in January. We are extremely fortunate to have a large religious school with students coming to us from all over the North Metro area. While this decision was a difficult one, it was necessary for the safety and health of our community.

All students will be set up in our system as virtual students for the semester. Virtual learning will look very different from what we provided in the spring and will include small Hebrew reading pods for grades K-7th  once a week. These pods will be created by our Hebrew staff to fit into each student's schedule during the week. The pods are designed to meet your child at his/her level and support their growth. In order to have our Hebrew pods set up and ready to begin on Sept. 1, I need your registration form back as soon as possible. Please make sure you open both attachments to see our new payment and registration forms.

Our Judaics curriculum for K-7th is designed for every student's learning style and interests.  Our students will receive a calendar (in Aug) with all of the programs, classes, and electives that they are free to take during the semester. These programs/classes will be offered throughout the week and on Sundays, however, the structure will not be like a typical "in-person" class.  Students are welcome to participate in as many or as few of these opportunities that work with your family's schedule.

K-7th grade will also have an opportunity for grade level virtual meetups, as we know how important the social component of Religious School is for our families. We feel it is vital for our students to be a part of our community and through our virtual classes and programs, we will do our best to keep them connected. 

While we know that virtual is not ideal and that our students will be overloaded during the school week with technology and classwork, our program will allow for students to enjoy a virtual experience that is flexible, stress-free, hands-on, unique, and fun while still providing the Religious School education that they need.

In regards to tuition, we have significantly reduced our tuition costs from our typical in-person model. The 2nd semester registration and tuition will be determined once we know what learning opportunities we will be able to offer. Please note that unlike in past years, our tuition has been broken up by semester. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.

Special note:  Students that wish to only participate in Hebrew reading pods or one on one tutoring(by special request), will still need to enroll and pay 1st semester tuition. It is strongly encouraged that all students enroll for 1st semester so they don't fall behind in their Hebrew studies.

Lets kick this virtual year off with a bang. I am very excited to join my amazing staff of teachers and get back into the classroom. I have mastered the virtual world and can't wait to share my skills with the students.
