Special Events Attendance for Siblings Siblings may attend the in-school Bar/Bat Mitzvah celebration and the FIRST reading of the Torah in middle school.
Our Early Childhood is Nut-FREE. Please refer to our Early Childhood Handbook starting on page 22.
Our K-8 Peanut Policy Out of concern and consideration for students with life-threatening allergies to peanuts/nuts/nut products, the school requests that no student bring a snack containing nuts or nut products. Lunches may contain nuts/nut products, as seating is arranged to ensure the safety of those with allergies.
Baked items must be labeled nut-free and Kosher
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): o We ask that you invite all the children in your child’s class, or all children of the same gender. o Party invitations should be mailed; it is our policy that they may not be distributed in school. o Addresses and phone numbers are in the Veracross school directory. o 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.) o We also request that you respect the dietary laws of Kashrut when serving food by following our in-school dairy/pareve policy. Security and Emergency Information At Levine Academy, our children’s safety and security are of the utmost concern. These are a few of our security measure initiatives: o Self-Locking Doors: All perimeter doors of the school are self-locking and only accessible with a staff- security badge. o Raptor: All parents, guardians and visitors must be processed through the school’s Raptor Technology System — Raptor is a visitor registration system that reads drivers' licenses, comparing information t o a sex offender database, alerting campus administrators if a match is found, then (assuming no match was made) printing a visitor nametag that includes a photo.
