By Sharon Wisch-Ray
Heading back to school during
the pandemic is the topic of almost
every media outlet these days
whether in print, online or on the
air. The local Jewish community is
no different.
On Tuesday, the heads of
schools of Dallas’ five day and
high schools — Tom Elieff of Anne
& Nate Levine Academy, Rabbi
Yaakov Green of Akiba Yavneh
Academy, Rabbi Avraham Zev
Kosowsky of Mesorah High School
for Girls, Rabbi Shlomo Pacht of
Texas Torah Institute and Rabbi
Avi Pekier of Torah Day School —
as well as Rabbi Mordechai Harris,
director of Jewish Federation of
Greater Dallas Center for Jewish
Education issued a Joint statement
to the day school community.
The statement emphasized
the educators’ commitment to
safety, well-being and flexibility.
It also explained the process of
collaboration that guided the
community’s response.
With different demographics
and age groups to contend with,
reopening is not a one-size fits all
proposition. Here is a rundown for
the different schools’ plans to date:
Early Childhood Programs
There are eight Jewish early
childhood programs in North
Texas. All of them will begin with
in person classes and some of them
have distance-learning options.
•Anshai Torah (Tuesday,
Aug. 12) and Chabad of Plano
(Wednesday, Aug. 13) began this
week.

•Second through fifth grades
begin in-person Monday, Aug. 31.
•Sixth through eighth grades
will begin in-person Tuesday,
Sept. 8.
All students have the option to
continue distance learning.
Torah Day School will
begin classes Aug. 31. They are
considering three options which
they expect to finalize by Friday,
Aug. 14.
The possibilities are:
•Plan A: Full-day program
for kindergarten through third
grade; partial day until 1 p.m.
for grades four through eight,
allowing the classes to be split in
half.
• Plan B: Full-day program for
kindergarten through first grade;
robust distance learning program
for second through eighth grades.
