2020-2021 LCLJ Reopening Update: July, 2020

July 17, 2020

After a great deal of consideration, we have decided that LCLJ will begin virtually this fall, at least initially. This includes LCLJ Weekday, LCLJ Shabbat, and LCLJ Downtown. This will support what we see as a phased reopening of our physical facilities, and will give our families time to adjust to what will undoubtedly be new secular school schedules and procedures before we ask for in-person attendance at LCLJ programming. Based on the current situation, we are hopeful that we will be able to open in person later in the year, and look forward to welcoming all of our children into the buildings. However, we plan to continue offering virtual options for all students in PreK-7th grade until we are fully reopened.

If you have any questions, please contact Maria Marzullo at [email protected] or Kazue Thomas at [email protected].
