REMOTE LEARNING AT HAR SHALOM
Shalom Chaverim (Hello Friends),
You have officially entered the land of remote learning at HSRS. After consulting with directors from around the state of Colorado, speaking with health care professionals, surveying the staff, and informally chatting with parents, we have decided that the 2020-2021 HSRS school year will begin through remote education. As health conditions evolve, we will keep evaluating our ability to bring in-person learning safely to your child.
Last spring, we shifted suddenly into virtual learning. We learned from that experience and are working hard to deliver engaging, creative and meaningful experiences for our students from the youngest to the oldest.
We are excited to take you on a Jewish journey filled with virtual field trips, Sukkah Hops, holiday celebrations, games, stories, services, and more all from the comfort and safety of your home. Registration information, monthly emails, and important dates will be found on this page.
As always, please reach out with any questions. All of the HSRS staff and I look forward to remotely learning with your child.
B'Shalom,
| Nicki Shamis | Addie Cutler |

Tuition & Fees
After consulting with other religious school directors from the state of Colorado, our tuition rates are remaining the same for the 2020-2021 school year. We canceled our planned increase as we are in unprecedented times where the financial future is unknown.
Tuition is based on a full school year. In order to maintain our budget, staffing, and keeping the utilities on at Har Shalom, tuition credits are not given for holidays or personal absences.
All pricing shown below is per child per month and includes tuition and materials. Any needed materials will be dropped off at your child's home prior to the lesson. Security fees, Snack fees, and Pizza Plans are not being charged during remote learning.
Beresheet: $10/month (meets once a month beginning in October)
Grades K through 3 (meets most Sundays via ZOOM):
- Sunday morning tuition & materials Fees: $73/month
Grades 4 through 7 (meets Sundays and Wednesday evening via Zoom):
- Sun. morning/Wed. evening tuition & Materials Fees: $84/month
Teen Programing (meets monthly):
- 2x per month Zoom plus materials and lifetime BBYO membership: $20/month
Please note: Tuition & Fees are due no later than the 15th of each month. If registering later in the school year, Tuition & Fees will be adjusted by the monthly rate (x) the remaining months of the school year.
As of September 13, 2018, families with children in grades K through 5 may enroll their children in the CHS Religious School as non-members for a maximum of two years at the non-member tuition rate (additional $20/month for the 2020-2021 school year).

Withdrawal Policy
We know life happens, pandemics are unpredictable, and learning looks different than ever before. We have developed a withdrawal policy to keep us all on the same page. Tuition is based on a full school year. In order to maintain our budget and staffing, tuition credits are not given for holidays or personal absences.
If you have a unique attendance circumstance, please contact the Religious School Director, Nicki Shamis. If you need to withdraw your child or teen, please notify in writing. A written response is proof that the withdrawal request was received. Absence from the program is not confirmation of withdrawal.
