Religious Holiday Exemption

I would like to try and respect any religious holidays that your family may practice. If your child participates in the religious holiday of Rosh Hashanah this week, they are excused from having to complete any type of homework assignments that evening.

This same rule goes into effect for any other type of religious holidays that are practiced throughout the year. Sometimes I may not be aware of all of the religious holidays that are practiced by individual students in our classroom, so please let me know in an email or note if your student needs to be excused from an assignment.

Please also let me know if your religion may require your student to fast that day. Together, we can certainly come up with an alternative supervised location for them to spend their lunch period so that they do not have to feel uncomfortable of being around other children that are eating.

I appreciate your help with this!
