Rosh Hashanah

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, is a fall holiday, taking place at the beginning of the month of Tishrei, which is actually the seventh month of the Jewish year (counting from Nisan in the spring). It is both a time of rejoicing and of serious introspection, a time to celebrate the completion of another year while also taking stock of one’s life. Rosh Hashanah itself is also known as Yom Hadin or the Day of Judgment, on which God opens the Books of Life and Death, which are then sealed on Yom Kippur.
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.
