OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL CELEBRATIONS At Levine Academy, we strive to teach and live Jewish values in everything we do. To that end, we expect all Levine families will adhere to the following guidelines when having a party for Levine students outside of school (including birthday parties and bar/bat mitzvah parties): - We ask that you invite all of the children in your child’s class, or all children of the same gender. - Party invitations should be mailed; it is our policy that they may not be distributed in school. Addresses and phone numbers are printed in the School Directory. - In order to be inclusive, we request that you do NOT schedule parties on Shabbat or any Jewish holidays. Be mindful that Shabbat and Jewish holidays begin at sundown the night before and end one hour after sunset the next evening. For questions about times of Shabbat or Jewish holidays, consult the school’s calendar. (Of course, we do encourage Levine students and families to gather for the traditional celebration of Shabbat and holidays, and it is appropriate to invite Levine Academy families to a Shabbat meal or holiday celebrations.) - We also request that you respect the dietary laws of Kashrut when serving food by following our in- school dairy/pareve policy.
