Expectations
Classroom expectations are consistent with Project SHAlom. A Torah atmosphere must be one of respectrespect for oneself, ones friends and ones parents and teachers. Students are expected to be ready to learn and be helpful. They are responsible for doing all of their assignments and handing work in on time. We apply the lessons we learn in all of our Torah subjects to how we should act in and out of school. We regularly review and discuss these expectations.

Grading
Students will be given rubrics to help them define their different responsibilities (e.g. journaling, TalAm workbooks, speaking, etc.). Work will be evaluated based on those rubrics and the goal is for students to be able to self-assess their progress. Students are not expected to become fluent in Hebrew or be able to understand every pasuk perfectly. However, each student is expected to make progress.
