PARENT SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP
Stronger Together Parent School Partnership Offers Guidance and Support in Difficult Topics The Parent School Partnership Committee is dedicated to fostering and elevating the dialogue between home and school. Committee members Ms. Rena Ashear, Ms. Amy Betesh, Ms. Sarah Chalouh, Ms. Michele Cohen, YOFHS Assistant Administrator Rabbi David Galpert, Ms. Esther Mishan, Ms. Nicole Oved, Ms. Amy Sasson, and Director of Campus Life Dr. Bethany Strulowitz strive to share relevant and important programming with parents several times a year. The first program of the 2019-2020 school year, “Responsive Classroom,® Responsive Parenting,” gave parents a glimpse into Responsive
Classroom,® the transformative, student-centered, social-emotional learning approach to teaching and behavior that is used throughout the Lower School classrooms. For its second installation, more than 200 parents gathered at YOF last January to view an exclusive screening of “Like!,” a compelling documentary exploring how social media has changed today’s definition of human connection and challenged us in areas of mental health, self-worth, and social relationships. A panel discussion offering practical social media tips to parents followed the presentation.
“The Parent School Partnership is predicated upon the belief that children learn best when the essential partnership between home and school is nourished and nurtured. Through various educational programs discussing curriculum, classroom learning methodologies, social-emotional learning, and more, our dedicated parents can partner together with our stellar faculty to positively impact the lives of each of our students in a myriad of ways.” — Dr. Bethany Strulowitz
