WELCOME BACK!
The first day of school is one of the greatest days in the entire School year. Everyone is filled with
so much enthusiasm and joy for the year ahead and for the opportunities it presents. Walking
around today only confirmed my belief – the students were excited and engaged, the classrooms
were so vibrant and ready for student work, and the teachers were eager to get to know their new
classes. What a magical day at Ilan Ramon Day School. This year we are also so fortunate to
welcome over 19 new families to our School and over 30 new students, who each bring their
unique talents to our Schools tapestry.
I look forward to seeing everyone this Friday at Shabbat Under the Stars.
Shana Tova and may it truly be a sweet and wonderful year.

100% volunteer-run, this program brings art to the classrooms through hands-on lessons. The
program includes a variety of different artists from different cultures and time periods; each
lesson brings the children closer to the artist. The children are encouraged to replicate the
work of the artist they view through different mediums – pastels, watercolor, and pencil to
name a few. This program culminates with an Art Show in May.
NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. All materials are provided.
This is a perfect opportunity for parents and grandparents to volunteer for your
children and be in the classroom!

Hello Ilan Ramon Family and Friends,
Perhaps you have heard about our SCRIP program and
have wondered what it is all about. Many of you have
ordered regularly, and we thank you for your support
of our program! We would LOVE to see more
families take advantage of this wonderful opportunity
to raise money for our school.
This year, Ilan Ramon Day School is introducing
Intergenerational Shabbat Services. Students in each
elementary class will participate by inviting
grandparents, an aunt, uncle, special friend, or other
adult to join them for a unique program and Kabbalat
Shabbat in the classroom, and to attend our school's
communal Shabbat service.
Please complete and return the attached form with the
mailing and email addresses of your child's
Granparent/Special Friend so, that when school
resumes, invitations will be mailed to them by your
child.
Grade level Intergenerational Shabbat Services are
scheduled as follows. Please be sure to save the date:
Grade 5 - November 4, 2016
Grade 4 - December 2, 2016
Grade 3 - January 20, 2017
Grade 2 - February 24, 2017
Grade 1 - March 17, 2017
Gesher/Kindergarten - March 24, 2017
IRDS is involved in a Scrip program in which we sell gift
cards from a wide range of retailers, restaurants, entertainment companies and so much
more, and we earn a percentage on every card we sell! The best part is, participating in
this program costs you nothing more than what you would be spending at these
retailers!
Do you shop at Sprouts Market? Why not buy a Sprouts Scrip card?
IRDS will earn 5%!
Need school clothes? Why not buy a Children’s Place Card?
IRDS will earn 12%!!
Need a caffeine kick? Get your Starbucks card!
IRDS will earn 7%!!!
And you pay only the value of the card! It couldn’t be easier!
Attached is an order form with a complete list of the cards we sell. I will be placing a
Scrip order the 1st week of school. Please fill out the forms, (on the IRDS website
www.ilanramondayschool.com) and drop them off or mail them with payment to the
IRDS office. Once I place the order, turn around is very fast!
You may pay by cash, check or credit card (Please note that credit card payments must
add a 3% additional surcharge.)
Many scrip cards are available year round for a quick gift or night out. Please check in
the office to see what is available and to make your purchase.
All the Best to you and yours!

Speech and Language Screening
By Jody Gould, M.A. C.C.C.

Wednesday, September 21, 2016
TH
GESHER – 5
GRADE
The Speech & Language Screening usually takes place by teacher request,
with parental permission. As a parent, you may also directly request screening.
Students are screened for speech and language, through the use of an elicited screening
instrument. They are asked to repeat questions and statements that are said to them. Students
typically use their own habitual articulation and language patterns when repeating back the
questions and statements. The clinician determines whether the articulation and language
structures are within normal limits for the student’s age.
Parents will be notified of the screening results on a standardized form and are invited to
discuss the results with the clinician by telephone. There is no charge for this consultation.
Should further therapy be required, Jody Gould M.A. ,C.C.C. will provide therapy at school on
a weekly basis for articulation and language problems. Therapy times are set by the teacher and
therapist, and fees will be discussed at this time. Parents can enroll their children in therapy by
contacting Jody Gould by phone (818)597-1019 or email:[email protected].

PARENTS PERMISSION TO ASSESS
ASSESSMENT CANNOT PROCEED WITHOUT WRITTEN CONSENT
In order for children’s speech and language to develop correctly, assistance is sometimes needed. As a
professional Speech and Language Specialist, I am able to determine if any problems exist. Your child
will be screened on Wednesday, September 21, 2016. You will be informed of the results.
