MESSAGE from the HEAD OF SCHOOL Welcome to YULA HIGH SCHOOL! Excitement is in the air as we begin this new chapter in partnership with you. YULA strives to provide a safe and nurturing environment filled with opportunities for each student to meet their individual needs and reach his unique potential. Our mission is to imbue all students with a strong foundation that holds a deep passion for Torah study, refined middot tovot, and love of Medinat Yisrael. As your son begins this important journey into high school, we recognize that you may be feeling a lot of different emotions ranging from excitement and enthusiasm, to anxiety and uncertainty. To help ensure a smooth transition into high school, we have created a parent toolkit to serve as a guide to understanding what to expect when your son begins YULA. This toolkit was created based on valuable feedback and discussions with parents like you, and it is our sincere hope that this serves as the opening of what will be an ongoing dialogue and partnership between all of us. Please use the parent toolkit for assistance regarding who to contact in each department, learn about academic requirements and important information on extra curricular opportunities at YULA. Additionally, the toolkit provides a realistic sense of the time commitments required in our various programs, so you and your son can make an informed decision on participating in a manner that allows for academic success. Thank you for the opportunity and privilege to be part of educating, inspiring, and helping your son blossom and reach his unique potential at YULA. As always, if you have any questions, feedback, or suggestions, feel free to contact me directly at asufrin@yula.org. Bi’veracha,
RABBI ARYE SUFRIN HEAD of SCHOOL

STEAM AT YULA BOYS
SCHLESINGER STEAM AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP CENTER This is where students create new-era big ideas that will impact the world. YULA students are immersed in the cutting edge of emerging technologies. Their mission is to learn to create breakthroughs using science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM). The curriculum brings in relationships with top ranking institutions such as UCLA, USC, and Cedars Sinai. This curriculum challenges students to reach a level of excellence, providing them with a conceptual and performance standard that they will apply to all future studies and professional undertakings. PRINCIPLES AND APPLIED ENGINEERING COURSES An elective open to 9th graders that involves hands-on group projects in robotics and electronics that culminates in the Young Engineers Conference where each team presents the devices they built. 12
ROBOTICS YULA’s Robotics team encourages freshman to be involved. The team has achieved unprecedented success competing against other schools in Southern California, and hosted a meets for over 20 schools in recent years. COMPETITIONS BEYOND ROBOTICS YULA creates opportunities for students to challenge themselves by participating in a variety of competitions ranging from essay contests and math challenges to the Intel Science Talent Search, Google Science Fair, and the YULA L’Chadash Innovation Challenge (YULA’s version of Shark Tank). STEAM OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM Visits to Google, Medtronic, a biomedical device manufacturer, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory give students a glimpse of STEAM in action. We support students who want to expand their science knowledge through summer programs at universities like UCLA, USC, and the Technion in Israel. This program has been generously funded by Sheri and Arnold Schlesinger.
13
FRESHMAN RETREAT The Freshman Retreat will afford all students the opportunity to get to know one another and will help build the foundation for strong and lasting friendships. The retreat will include a variety of shiurim, programs, and activities that inspire, stimulate and forge a strong sense of achdut and unity among the Class of 2025. The Freshman Retreat will take place from August 31-September 1 and will be an invaluable experience for all incoming 9th graders and YULA Staff; it is imperative that every student attends. The cost per student is $149. All checks should be made payable to YULA and handed in during Freshman Orientation on Monday, August 23, 2021. You will receive additional information regarding the retreat at orientation. If you are unable to participate in the retreat, or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact Rabbi Nissan Ahoobim via email: nahoobim@yula.org

ATHLETICS at YULA BOYS Many popular extracurricular activities at YULA fall under the umbrella of the YULA Panthers Athletics Program. We field teams in baseball, basketball, soccer, fencing, tennis, golf, cross country, flag football, and volleyball. Before each season, we hold a competitive round of tryouts and do our best to make sure everyone who wants to be a student-athlete is able to participate. YULA is a member of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern Section and competes in the Liberty League. Our athletic program adheres to its Code of Ethics, and the YULA High School Boys Division establishes its own academic eligibility rules. Please review the Parent-Student Handbook for further details on academic eligibility. While Athletics are an important part of the YULA experience, parents and students alike need to appreciate the time commitment involved and respect the balance between Athletics and the strenuous academic schedule. The chart below breaks down each sport by season. Students can compete in up to 3 sports a year, with a maximum of 1 sport per season. Practices are usually held after school or on Sundays and run about two hours long. Competitions are usually towards the end of the school day or after school and involve travel time to and from the venues. Although every effort is made to limit the conflict between sports and academics, student-athletes do miss some class time. All student-athletes are responsible for obtaining notes, assignments, and making up any exams they miss. We look forward to seeing the growth, leadership and responsibility our young boys will garner after being a student-athlete at YULA, traits which go well beyond their 4 years in high school.

SKILLS for your HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT • Time Management: YULA is a dual curriculum school. Learning how to work in advance of assignment, project, and test deadlines is a necessary skill to develop. Students need to prioritize their workload and create a time management plan to ensure that work is not left until the last minute. Each student may have a different system. Some choose to keep weekly planners (hard copy) that have the hours of the week printed out. Others use a digital version such as the Calendar app on their laptops; often they can sync this schedule with their personal devices. Although the system can differ by student, a parent should be able to check-in and see that an overview of “study hours” and a plan to complete assignments is kept. Having an awareness of the time needed to complete different coursework is essential to academic success. • Organization: Materials management is an important part of staying organized at YULA. Please help your son buy all of his textbooks and reading books at the start of the fall semester. Too often students wait for an assigned book to be delivered while missing important class discussion. Check that the books you order match the ISBN# given by the teacher. When the wrong version of a book is purchased, the student cannot follow along with classroom discussions because page numbers and translations do not match. Students should have systems for keeping notes and class papers. In technology class your son will learn how to set up files on his laptop to separate class notes; however, he will also need folders for papers given out in class and assignments that are handed back. Helping your son keep track of all these materials, at least at the start of the school year, will be instrumental in helping him stay organized. • Assigned Readings: Reading from texts is a necessary part of the high school curriculum. Students need to know how to extract important information from reading selections. An important step towards having your son understand and remember what he reads should include setting aside quality study time in a quiet space. Highlighting topic, main idea, and supporting details while reading is recommended to facilitate reading comprehension. Finally, prepare index cards to memorize key terms and definitions (these can be created online as well with quizlet.com). Index cards promote repetition and ultimately memorization of new concepts. • Study Time: Study time should be “pure” and free of all distractions. Students need to be able to devote themselves to studying without social media, phone calls, texting, and other distractors. We have discovered that when students turn on their computers to study or sit down to review notes or text, they are often distracted by 20
social media, e-mails, texts, and phone calls from friends. Quite often they are not aware how much time is wasted and count this time as “study time.” Parents can help make their sons mindful that it is best for focus and time management to refrain from looking at social media and other distractors during work time. • School Resources: YULA has an educational support team to support students with learning differences. Please contact Ms. Julie Tichon at jtichon@yula.org, our Director of Academic Student Support, for more information.

TIME TIPS . . . TIME TIPS: 12 ORGANIZATIONAL AND TIME MANAGEMENT TIPS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS (Parents please share the following with your son) Your success in high school can greatly be improved by being organized and using your time wisely. Staying organized can help ease the burden of a busy schedule. While you probably do not have a lot of control over when your classes are scheduled, you do have control of the rest of your time. Here are some important tips to remember: 1. Use your school planner to stay organized. Fill in things you must do (classes, work, practice, etc. that you can't change). Write down appointments and class assignments. Make a daily checklist. Set priorities. Do the most important tasks first. 2. Set achievable goals. When you set goals that are unrealistic it sets you up for failure. You want to aim to set goals that are difficult, yet are achievable. 3. Organize some key areas in your life, for example, your bedroom, study area, car and locker. By organizing these key areas it will improve your ability to stay on schedule and help avoid the most frustrating situations. You don’t want to be in a situation where you are looking for an assignment that is due and you have no idea whether it’s in your locker piled high with papers, the car that hasn’t been cleaned in three months, or your bedroom that looks like a hurricane blew through! Being unorganized will cause problems in nearly every area of your life and developing the skill of organization will immensely improve your ability to become successful at whatever you pursue. 4. Schedule the most difficult tasks for times when you are alert. Geometry, for example, may be hard enough when you're fresh. When you're tired, it will be impossible! 5. Establish a regular time and place for study. Utilize this space to study during the day if possible. 6. If you have a study hall during school, utilize it. Focus on your assignments and to-do list in your planner. 7. Use daylight hours to study whenever possible. For most students for every hour of study done in daylight hours, it will take one and a half hours to do the same task at night. Study during the day especially during study halls. 8. By using flash cards, summary sheets or your notes, you can use short periods to study in your spare time while you're waiting for class to start or for a friend to pick you up. 22
9. Take study breaks. Do not schedule a cram session the night before a test. Several short 50 minutes sessions are more affective than one long session. 10. Review your notes every day. You'll reinforce what you've learned, so you need less time to study. You'll also be ready if your teacher calls on you or gives a pop quiz. 11. Prepare and organize whatever possible the night before. A few examples would be to pack your book bag and lay out what you intend to wear the next day. 12. Get a good night's sleep. Running on empty makes your days seem longer and your tasks seem more difficult.
