Intentionally
Affordable
Our goal is to provide a quality Jewish education to all Jewish families who desire it for their children.

🍋 This is how CJDS does Sukkot!
🤗Students in various grade levels were tasked with building a sukkah out of a given material- cereal boxes for 3rd, weaving ribbons for 4th, and newspapers for 5th.
In the end, each Sukkah stood on its own, complete with s’chach from Mariashi’s own back yard! Students even enjoyed eating their snacks in the sukkah they built.
Do you know the requirements for a proper sukkah? Your child sure does! Ask them tonight over dinner- perhaps on your own sukkah at home 🏠
Drive by and check out our sukkah collection on display!!! Vote for your favorite and comment below ⬇️

At CJDS, Social - Emotional learning is an important part of the whole school experience. From our youngest learners through our older students, we intentionally teach the skills that help children understand themselves, navigate relationships, manage big feelings, and handle life‘s challenges. It’s one of the things that makes our school community so special. ✨
And in kindergarten, SEL can look pretty simple - and pretty sweet. 🥰
favorite tradition in kindergarten is reading, Junie B Jones - a lovable character who experiences many of the same friendships, feelings, challenges, and everyday adventures that our kindergartners experience themselves. In the chapter we read today, Junie B was afraid of the dark when it was time to go to sleep.
After reading, we turned to the story into an SEL conversation about fear and the strategies we can use when we feel scared at bedtime. Our kindergartners shared what helps them feel safe and comfortable when those nighttime worries creep in.💛🧸
.
This is what SEL looks like at CJDS: taking everyday moments and turning them into opportunities to build skills that children can carry with them far beyond the classroom.

🪄 What a magical day in middle school today! Sixth graders participated in a Harry Potter inspired murder mystery event! Using murder mystery activities in middle school helps students build critical thinking, reading comprehension, communication and social-emotional skills. Who done it?! Ask your child who was the guilty character, and who solved the mystery! ⭐️
