Dear Yavneh Families,


We hope that you are enjoying your break. Over here on campus, the Admin team is teeming with excitement about the amazing year we are going to have together as our Yavneh community! Go Blaze!


We are all enthusiastically looking forward to welcoming your children to the first day of school on August 22nd. In this letter you will find important information about the start of school.


We are planning for an incredible year ahead and our staff is busy getting ready for your return. Summer professional development and trainings are taking place in: Pedagogy of Partnership, Responsive Classroom, and FUNdations reading program for K-3rd grade. We are also implementing elective rotations for 1st-4th grade. 


We look forward to a collaboration with other Jewish schools this year on the following new programming: Yavneh STEAM and Hebrew programming in the APJCC Transitional Kindergarten (TK) program as well as collaborative efforts with Gideon Hausner Jewish Day School and Ronald C. Wornick Jewish Day School on some of our middle school experiences in an entrepreneurship class as well as some of our overnight journeys.  


In early August we will be welcoming our new Shinshinim, Dor Aviad and Rony Rimon Astrogano.


We are transforming the Multi Purpose Room (MPR) into an inviting space for early morning activities and creating a new Library room for students to access.
