Please be aware that Town & Village Synagogue asks that anyone who wishes to attend in person is required to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19, including all eligible booster shots. While there is currently no mask mandate, we strongly recommend that people wear masks while in our building. Children 6 months to 5 years old will also be expected to be vaccinated for COVID-19.  Our COVID-19Task Force has set Rosh Hashanah (September 25) as the deadline for children 6 months to 5 years old to have received their first dose with the full course of doses to be completed by December 15. Our policies are under constant review by our Task Force to make sure they are in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, including current local, state and CDC guidelines. Please send a copy of your most recent vaccination card with any booster updates to families@tandv.org. 
 

By signing my name below, my child/ren has/have permission to participate in Kulanu @ T&V. In consideration of my child/ren's acceptance as a Hebrew School student, I hereby waive any and all claims against Town & Village Synagogue, its agents and its employees that may arise out of any injury, loss or damage suffered by my child/ren during any Kulanu activity. I hereby authorize the Youth and Family Facilitators, or person designated by the Youth and Family Facilitator, to obtain emergency medical care for my child/ren in the event such care is indicated. I give my permission for my child/ren to receive emergency medical care by any nurse, doctor, paramedic or member of a medical staff of a hospital licensed by the State of New York. I understand that every effort will be made to notify a parent/guardian prior to treatment.

I certify that my child/ren is/are in good physical health. They have my permission to participate in all activities that are part of the regular Kulanu program. Field trips may be arranged by Town & Village Synagogue, and transportation may include bus or vehicle driven by a classmate's parent or guardian.

At Town & Village Synagogue, we are committed to lifelong Jewish learning. 
Our goal is to provide all students this foundation in childhood. In order to become B'nei Mitzvah at T&V, we expect that students will participate in a meaningful Jewish educational program. This includes twice a week attendance in 2nd through 7th grade, as well as going to Shabbat services according to the requirement of the school.  If you have any questions or would like clarification about our policy, please be in touch at families@tandv.org. 

I hereby consent to the participation in interviews, the use of quotes, and the taking of photographs, movies or videos of my child/ren. I also grant the right to edit, use, and reuse said products for nonprofit purposes including use in print, on the internet, and all other forms of media. I also hereby release Town & Village Synagogue and its agents and employees from all claims, demands, and liabilities whatsoever in connection with the above.

Town & Village Synagogue will adhere to the following limitations on the rights granted to it:

- The names of children under the age of 18 will not be published at any time, except with the parent's prior permission.
- Requests by adults that photographs of themselves or their minor children be removed from the T&V website or other public online sites will be honored.

The work of raising and educating Jewish children cannot be done in the school alone, but is a project of the school, the family and the community. When you join T&V's Youth and Family community, and spend time learning and volunteering with us, you make a powerful statement to your children that Jewish learning is a lifelong process, and that we are all on the same team in creating these experiences for them.

Families are asked to attend occasional special programs with their children, which helps to build the home-synagogue connection.

We are also in need of regular volunteers at Kulanu. Would you consider supporting our school in an ongoing role or a limited engagement? If so, please indicate below where your skills might best be put to use.

In Jewish tradition, it is the job not only of guardians but of the community to provide education for children. The Town & Village Synagogue community is committed to this obligation. As such, our Hebrew School fee only covers a portion of the cost of our Hebrew School. Fundraising efforts and congregational dues heavily subsidize our children’s education. We are best able to plan appropriately when we know as early as possible how many students to expect in each grade.
