On Thursday, Aug. 13, the Temple Israel Board approved a reopening plan for the school that involves conducting religious and Hebrew studies for our 3rd through 9th graders online and Judaism-at-home activity kits for our preschool through 1st graders; and allows for some highly-structured in-person outdoor events for small groups of specified students (while COVID-19 14-day average case numbers in Duluth allow). Below is our teaching lineup for this Fall:
Religious Studies
PreK – Morah Elizabeth Kaplan
Kindergarten and 1st Grade – Morah Chris King
3rd and 4th Grade – Moreh Andrew Podolsky
5th and 6th Grade – Moreh Jeff Wallace

Hebrew Studies

Looking ahead, the school will hold a parent’s meet-up and curriculum pick-up before the start of school. A short technology survey and calendar will be coming soon. Currently, we are looking at school start dates of Saturday, Sept. 26 for Religious Studies and Wednesday, Sept. 30 for Hebrew Studies.
