We invite each family to contribute at the time of registration to The BJEP Heartbeat Chesed Fund. Your generosity will directly support our efforts to care for and celebrate one another. BJEP is a non-profit organization and relies on the generosity of our families to provide support when called upon. Note that while tuition is not tax-deductible, monies above our stated tuition are tax-deductible. Please consult a tax advisor for additional information regarding your individual situation.
In 2020, BJEP embarked on a listening tour of our community, and provided the insight and feedback to strengthen this program. We recognize even more the role each of us plays in our community, the importance of connection and supporting each other through such extraordinary and unprecedented events that arrived on our doorsteps this year. Please consider making an additional contribution to BJEP that works for you and your family, and know that this added gift will have an immediate impact on BJEP. Note that while tuition is not tax-deductible, contributions above our stated tuition are tax-deductible. Please consult a tax advisor for additional information regarding your individual situation. If needed, make a pledge at the time of registration, and we will work with you to make arrangements to pay before December 31, 2020.
BJEP will hold Family High Holiday Services on the first day of Rosh Hashanah (Sat, September 19, 2020) and on Yom Kippur (Mon, September 28, 2020), from the safety and comfort of your home. The additional donation of a family ticket for BJEP/BJEP Alum/Brandeis families is $136 per family. Other Community members welcome to join us ($180 per family). Your invitation and more information awaits here: Register here.
A non-refundable and non-transferable deposit of $250 per child reserves a place in the class. No tuition refunds are granted after the third session of classes.
As a parent cooperative, we rely on each family to help in a small way to run our program each year. Many hands make light work. Each parent is required to sign up for at least one BJEP parent cooperative job per student registered in order for payment to be accepted. We love – and are very grateful – when we see families take on more than one job and lend their talents in various ways. Serving on BJEP’s Parent Board counts as a job, and we are always thrilled to welcome new board members. Consider a role that works with your schedule, e.g., to learn or refine a new skill, serve as a greeter (remote or in-person) during an upcoming event, lead or join a committee, lend your talents at a Purim Carnival booth, or wrap gifts at Henry Bear’s Park. Please contact us with any job-related questions.
Send us a family picture with the names of those pictured by email to director@bjep.com. We want to get to know you and your family better and to be able to recognize members of your family attending BJEP. BJEP families come in many shapes and sizes, so if your family has step-parents or multiple sets of parents, please feel free to email more than one picture. The pictures are for internal use only and will not be put on social media or used for publicity.
BJEP Graduates are encouraged to continue as Madrichim in grades 8-12. Madrichim are an integral part of our classroom communities and are paid a stipend. They assist classroom teachers, support student learning and provide continuity for the BJEP community. They are required to attend all BJEP sessions and staff development trainings. Get in touch to indicate interest in joining the Madrichim program at director@bjep.com.
