Registration material for religious school 2012-13 is available on the Anshei Israel website. We have kept tuition the same but added a Registration/Snack Fee for the coming year. The fee is reduced depending on how early you register (the early bird deadline is May 15). It is important that you register early so that we have an idea of how many students to expect in a class and how many books to order (book ordering needs to be done in the early summer). You can access the registration materials here.
On Saturday, May 5 at 6:00pm in the Epstein Chapel there will be a 7th/8th Grade Siyum celebrating the inaugural year of our 7th/8th Grade joint
End-of-the-Year Report Cards will be going in the mail mid-May. We always welcome input and feedback from parents.
