Religious School
Welcome to the 5782/2021-22 Temple Emanuel Religious School year. Our staff is very excited about the upcoming year. We are currently expecting to resume in-person classes on our first day back Sunday, August 29, 2021. The safety of our students and staff will always be our top priority. Religious School will follow all recommendations of the Temple Emanuel Covid-19 Recovery Task Force. We ask that families continue to be flexible as our ability to be in-person may change depending on factors beyond our control. We are opening registration with optimism that next year we’ll be at the synagogue enjoying bagel breakfasts together!
Our teachers are working hard to plan community building, engaging, Jewish educational experiences for our students and families. We hope to see you this Fall!
Please contact Becky DePalma, Religious School Director at educationdirector@templeemanuelws.com or 336- 722-6640 (ext. 102) if you have any questions.
