Student Handbook - 2010/2011

Welcome to a new and exciting year at The Shul Hebrew School. 

Imagine a Hebrew School where you don't want to miss a day. You come in with a smile and leave humming a Hebrew song. Walking through the halls, you can hear the sounds of lively discussion, of singing, of laughter and of prayer. Imagine feeling the warmth and spirit of Judaism. Imagine the pride of your parents.

We have some wonderful events planned for you this year.  You can always see what's coming up by visiting www.theshulhebrewschool.net and going to our calendar.  You can also see some wonderful pictures of you and your friends at events taken throughout the year.  And catch up on the latest Itche Kadoozy informational cartoon.

We are looking forward to a fun-filled and educational year here at The Shul Hebrew School.

Here are few things you must keep in mind when attending your classes:

Student Code of Conduct

The Shul Hebrew School’s philosophy of behavior management is grounded firmly in the belief that children thrive in a positive and affirmative atmosphere. Setting reasonable and fair limits for behavior and describing and reinforcing desired behaviors are more effective methods than criticism and punishment. Natural consequences, time out, behavior modification, and conferences with parents and students are used consistently by the entire faculty to bring about necessary changes to inappropriate behavior.

General expectations for student conduct include:

1. Students will respect teachers, other students, and school property.

2. Students will maintain an atmosphere conducive to learning.

3. Students will maintain safety standards.

The following behaviors violate school policy and are subject to a conference between the Parent, teacher and Director:

1. Showing disrespect towards adults or peers

2. Using improper language or name-calling

3. Running, pushing, shoving, or yelling

4. Disrupting the learning process

5. Fighting

6. Threatening, intimidating, or causing harm to any person

Fire Safety and Security Procedures 

It is the policy of The Shul Hebrew School to follow the State approved fire safety procedures of the West Bloomfield Fire Department.  Each room is equipped with a map of the exit locations and are reviewed by each classroom teacher with their students.  In the event of an emergency students will proceed to the nearest exit accompanied by their teacher and meet at the cul-de-sac on the North side of the building.
