Dear Parents,
I hope this letter finds you well as we approach the end of the year. We are excited about our extensive planning for the coming academic year - particularly about one of the crown jewels in the program - the Academic Majors elective courses for all entering ninth grade students. As you know, the year will be divided into trimesters, and students will be asked to choose three elective courses - one for each trimester - as an "Introduction to the Major: 101 Level Course." There will be13 different Core Concentration Majors from which to choose the 3 elective courses.
I am writing now to invite you to a special program that we are hosting for parents and students who are entering the ninth grade - the program will highlight what the Majors are and what strategies to employ when choosing your elective courses - all within the context of an evening program that will include an enjoyable activity for parents with their children, designed to make the choices the most effective possible.
Please join us, with your eighth grader, at Magen David High School on Tuesday evening May 21st, at 7:30 pm for this program. At the interactive, enjoyable activity that evening, you will have a chance to learn all about how the Majors are a key to your child's future, and to enroll in your choice of classes. I look forward to greeting you at this wonderful program! If you have any questions, please feel free to be in touch. In the meantime, please accept my warmest wishes for a Hag Same'ah and for a continued great year!
Sincerely yours,
Rabbi Saul Zucker
