Buddy Program All classes from the EC 3’s through Eighth Grade are paired together through the Buddy Program at Levine Academy. Individual students in the buddy classes are further paired so that every EC 3-year-old and Pre-Kindergarten child has a relationship with a big buddy. Buddy classes meet once a month for activities based around the seven core values of the Ethical Covenant, Jewish holidays and just to have fun relating to each other! Students may create art projects, bake cookies, eat snacks in the sukkah, read books or attend the Purim Carnival together. Each Buddy class has a Buddy Family Shabbat Dinner once during the year to extend the bond between the students. Additional family Buddy programs may take place on a Sunday during the year. Our Buddy Program has fostered relationships between students creating a loving, safe and caring community here at Levine. GENERAL CARPOOL AND PARKING LOT RULES The attached diagram clearly indicates the traffic pattern for the entire campus. These patterns were established as a result of our Traffic Study in preparation for our fence construction and set by the city of Dallas.
