2. Where can uniforms be purchased?
Uniform Headquarters in Spring Valley carries all our uniform items. They know all the BDY School approved uniform items and can quickly help you find them. Other uniform stores also carry our items, but they may not know our approved items.
3. Is there a transportation program available?
Yes. BDY School will help set up round trip transportation between a student’s home and the school is available each school day. For those students who qualify, the county will provide bus service. or all other students, we will provide service through one of our private school buses.
4. What is the typical class size?
Class sizes vary, but we like to keep them small, especially in elementary grades. That way teachers can focus more attention on each individual student. Class sizes typically run around 15 students. As students get older, class sizes get a little bigger. For high school classes, they can run anywhere between 15 and 28 students. Once a class reaches 28 students, we split it.
5. Can my daughter bring her own lunch?
She can, if she has food allergies or if she is not approved for our child nutritional program.
6. Is there a playground on campus?
We offer a nice playground furnished with bicycles, monkey bars, swings and other equipment. There is also a basketball court and other outdoor activities areas we use, weather permitting.
7. Can children celebrate their birthday in school?
Yes. Students can bring cupcakes to share with all students in the class.
8. Is there a social media policy?
Yes. We do not allow students to use any social media platform during school hours. Additionally, each year we conduct a special program for high school students about the dangers of bullying on social media.
9. Is there a remedial resource program, if needed?
Yes. We offer a robust remedial education program available to any students who needs it. It is designed to help students get back on track and more confident with their learning skills.
10. If my child needs additional help, who do we call?
The principal of her department is always available to provide helpful resources for every situation. Rabbi Moskowitz is also available and willing to help any student or parent.
