Please inital
Ozerim should attend as many of the sessions as they can. If necessary, substitutes can be found, especially to encourage support in USY programming. Please only miss school if absolutely necessary. If you cannot attend at least 80% of the sessions, please reconsider whether this program is the right fit for you. Exceptions will be made for students who are studying in Israel for part of the school year.*

Ozerim will be reliable and dependable, serve as a role model to our students, and have a positive attitude. Ozerim should dress appropriately and act professionally at all times. **This includes keeping their cell phone silenced and away during the hours they work at CBS. Ozerim who struggle to keep their phone away during work hours will be asked to leave their phone in the RS office.*

Ozerim must attend a mandatory training session at the beginning of the school year or arrange for substitute training. Ozerim will attend monthly staff meetings on Sundays from 12:00pm-1:00pm* this timing is new this year*. A schedule with these dates and all school dates will be provided at the start of year. Attendance at these meetings is a mandatory part of the program. These sessions will focus on logistics for programming, brainstorming solutions to classroom challenges, classroom management techniques, leadership, and more. Ozerim are invited to attend all Religious School staff meetings as well.*
