  • Frequently Asked Questions Re: Uniforms
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS RE: UNIFORMS Who should wear a uniform? All CJA students (Nursery – Grade 9) are required to wear school uniforms during school hours and at all school related activities, unless otherwise advised. Who is the supplier of uniforms? We have chosen InSchoolWear as the CJA supplier. InSchoolWear is a highly reputable Canadian manufacturer and distributor of school uniforms in Canada and Calgary. There is a Calgary store location at: InSchoolwear (ISW) Hours of Operation: Philips Park, Building A, Unit A9E Monday Closed 6120 – 2nd Street SE Tuesday 1:00 – 5:30 pm Calgary, Alberta T2H 2L8 Wednesday 1:00 – 5:30 pm Thursday 1:00 – 5:30 pm Phone: (403) 640-1032 Friday 1:00 – 5:30 pm www.inschoolwear.com Saturday 10:00 am – 4:00 pm Are all pieces of the uniform exclusive to InSchoolwear? Only the tops of uniforms purchased through InSchoolwear have logos. No bottom pieces (skirts, pants, etc.) have logos; therefore parents are able to purchase navy and other bottoms from other sources (e.g., Wal-Mart, etc.) What will happen if my child is NOT wearing a uniform? Parents are responsible for ensuring their children are appropriately dressed before arriving at school. Students arriving at school not in uniform will have their parents contacted to bring the uniform to school. Will there be casual (non-uniform) days? Yes, there will be non–uniform days, as specified by the school, where the students will be able to wear non-uniform clothes. Appropriate attire is still required and must conform to the Student Non-Uniform Dress Policy #5.50.

  • Calgary Jewish Community Council and Its Successor, Calgary Jewish Federation, During an Incredibly Busy and Productive Year
    Rededicating Renewing Rejewvenating Annual Report 2010 – 2011 | 5771 President and Interim Executive Director’s Message It is a real pleasure to share in these pages the accomplishments of Calgary Jewish Community Council and its successor, Calgary Jewish Federation, during an incredibly busy and productive year. Our efforts this past year have been focused on renewing and “rejewvenating” our Jewish community through education, inclusion and leadership development. We reached in to the unaffiliated and reached out to the greater Calgary community. And we are proud to say that we brought the joys of “doing Jewish” to an increasing number of men, women and children. We have a new name and new logo. Calgary Jewish Federation is now our community’s central funding, planning and coordinating body, completing a process that began with our March 2007 Strategic Plan for Ensuring the Future of the Jewish Community. This year, Federation and CJCC share one annual report. Henceforth, we will operate independently of one another. CJCC will continue to proudly serve the community, but will function independently as a not-for-profit organization tasked with coordinating local Israel advocacy efforts and promoting projects and programs with our sister region of Etzba HaGalil (the Galilee Panhandle) in Northern Israel. Another major undertaking during the past year was our search for a new Executive Director, and we are very pleased to welcome Drew Staffenberg back to Calgary in that capacity. Having served the community so capably from 1983 through 1993, Drew returns to us with outstanding experience in campus development and we are thrilled that he will help us to achieve our dream of a Jewish community campus.

Much like an air traffic controller who manages the arrivals and departures of many aircraft on multiple runways at a busy airport, the brain needs this skill set to get things done in an organized and efficient way.
