The Ten Days of Teshuvah are the ten days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur in the Jewish tradition, observed as a time of reflection, repentance, and spiritual return. These days are considered especially meaningful for seeking forgiveness, making amends, and setting intentions for the year ahead. Many Jewish individuals engage in personal and communal practices of introspection during this period.
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.
As a 501(c)3 non-profit school, Headwaters School does not discriminate because of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, or any other classes protected by federal, state, or local law in its admissions, financial aid, hiring, or board membership processes.
