Welcome

Dear Barrack Hebrew Academy Parents,
The Jack M. Barrack Home and School Association (HSA) is a cooperative organization that strives to unite JBHA parents, administration, faculty and Board of Directors, in providing Jewish day school excellence for our students and building a vibrant, engaged community for our school.
The key HSA goals this year will focus on building community, enhancing communication, and providing a vehicle by which you, our JBHA parents, can openly express your ideas and comments.
Our emphasis is on friend-raising, while providing exciting activities and events to enrich the Barrack experience for all families and students. We believe that our active participation in the HSA during the past few years has enabled us to hear your needs and respond to your interests. This experience, combined with recent parent feedback, has guided us in developing initial HSA events for the coming year.
For example, we are going to hold several HSA general meetings in locations and at times identified as more convenient for a large number of our parents. For starters, we plan to hold one meeting in Dresher, one in Merion, and one in the late afternoon at school, right before many of you pick up your students.
Plans are also on the drawing board for social, educational, and athletic events that will bring parents together, providing opportunities to make new friends as well as renew established friendships. Your ideas are most welcome. Click here for an initial HSA calendar, a description of volunteer opportunities.
Once the academic year gets underway, we will post the names and contact information of our grade parents who will keep you up-to-date on HSA news, events, and volunteer opportunities; the names and contact information of host families for grade parties; and a list of HSA committee chair people.
We invite you to sign up to volunteer your time and talents. Together, with your participation and feedback, we can continue building a strong Barrack Hebrew Academy community! Warmly,
Tracy Gordon and Lori Levin
H.S.A. Co-Presidents
