Back to School!It’s that bittersweet time of the year again when we trade in our beach bags for backpacks and get ready to take on a new school year. The freedom and slow pace of the summer is hard to see go, but we are equally excited about what a new year brings. You’ll notice for us that the new year brings a new and improved format for our newsletter. Don’t forget to make sure that all of your teachers are signed up, as well as any board members or education committee members that you want to keep informed. The first day of school always feels exciting. Teachers start fresh with a new class and friends are reunited. Getting to that first day though takes a tremendous amount of planning! We at the ISJL love planning and finding ways to make this process as easy for you as possible! We have ideas for how to set the tone for the year, how to execute excellent teachers trainings, how to set parents up for success, checklists galore and more. We hope you get some great inspiration here and that you will reach out to your Education Fellow for anything you need! Chai Lights: Conference 2016 This year's conference was full of life!
