Weekly Newsletter: Dec 3, 2021, Beth Chaim this Sunday

As I mentioned previously, we will be relocating to Beth Chaim ( 329 Village Rd E, Princeton Junction, NJ 08550) this SundayTo ease the transition into the new facility, we ask your cooperation in the following:
  1. Arrive by 2:20pm this Sunday to allow extra time for your child(ren) to find his/her classroom and settle in prior to the class

  2. Cooperate with the temperature checks at the entrance.

  3. Mask on at all times when indoors

  4. Do not bring any pork or shellfish product into the building (this is the request from Beth Chaim).

  5. Respect the facility and leave everything the way you found it.

  6. Since we will be under one roof and classrooms are right next to each other. Parents do not need to take their kids to culture classes.

  7. Parents may stay in the building (limited to the hall next to the Sanctuary) but I strongly encourage you not to do so (due to the new Omicron variant and limited space in the building). Again, masks on at all times if you choose to stay.

Here are the classroom assignments. There will be signs to direct students/teachers to the right classroom.
