Dear Parents,

Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Monday January 11 2010 at school from 6:30 pm. It is important to your child that you attend these conferences. Please call the school at 845 634 0951 to schedule your appointment.

Please note: There will be no homework on that evening for those students whose parents attend the Parent Teacher Conferences.

Dear Parents,

The Hebrew Academy is PTA takes great pride in providing our kids with special Holiday, Rosh Chodesh and occasional Parsha-related treats, Chagigas, and other fun activities throughout the school year. Your annual PTA dues are a vital source of funding for these programs. If you have already sent in your check to the office, please consider this notice a letter of heartfelt thanks from all of our students. If not, please take the time to send in your $36 check to the office in an envelope with your family name marked "PTA dues".

Thank You,

Debbie Shatkin & Chav Landau
PTA Presidents

Dear Parents,

Please take the time to look through the following impressive list of valuable coupons. These coupons are compiled in a school fundraiser book that we are offering to all of our families. Each KidStuff and More Coupon Savings Book costs $25. As you can see, your savings are exponentially greater than the small cost of the book. Book sales would earn the school a 50% profit - money that goes directly to programs and activities for our kids; and the coupons inside can easily save you considerably more.

Please support our school and save yourself some money in the process. Offer a book to your friends, family, neighbors, too.

The parents that got to see them at the PTA meeting were very impressed. You will be, too!

The PTA is in need of talented parents to teach in our after-school program!

If you can teach Dance, Gymnastics, Karate, Jewelry Making, Simcha Dance, Guitar.......or coach a sport.........We need YOU!

Please give us an hour a week and spread you talent to The Hebrew Academy students!

Contact our office at 845-634-0951

Dear Parents,

The PTA would like to expand the Friday Pizza Lunch. In order to help us do so, we would like to get an idea of the types of lunch foods the children would be interested in.

All meals would be served with a vegetable side or salad, juice or bottled water for meat meals, juice or milk for dairy meals.

All lunch orders must be pre-ordered and pre-paid.

We hope to keep all meals under $3. To limit cost, this program would be parent-volunteer run. We need volunteers on a rotating basis to help with preparation and serving. Once a week, once a month or even once a semester - any time that you can give us is valued. Please indicate the days you would be available.

Please download the form (by clicking here) and return this form to school as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Mrs. Debbie Shatkin and Mrs. Chav Landau
