Yom Kippur

The culmination of the Yamim Noraim (Days of Awe) is the fast day of Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement). This is the day at the conclusion of which, according to tradition, God seals the Books of Life and Death for the coming year. The day is devoted to communal repentance for sins committed over the course of the previous year. Because of the nature of Yom Kippur and its associated rituals, it is the most solemn day in the Jewish calendar.
Headwaters School respects the diverse religious and cultural observances within our community. In alignment with our handbook policies, students will not be penalized academically, socially, or athletically for missing school due to the conscientious observance of a religious holiday. Absences will be excused with prior notice to the Attendance Office, and students may make up any missed work, tests, or assignments without penalty. Faculty use a Religious Holidays calendar when planning major events, and the school strives to avoid scheduling required activities on widely observed religious holidays.
