Hineini Kick-off

Siging the Hineine Banner Today we held a school-wide kick-off event for our Hineini program, which is our implementation of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program. Hineini means “Here I Am” in Hebrew. Students signed the school’s Hineini banner where each child accepts responsibility to prevent bullying on their school’s campus.

This research-based schoolwide “systems-change” program has been used successfully in schools all over the country and around the world with positive results.

Pardes is very excited to have its new integrated school information system, RenWeb. RenWeb is a system for administration, for faculty and yes, for parents. There is a terrific portal for parents called "ParentsWeb" that parents can use to access all sorts of information for the school as a whole and for your family and student(s) specifically.
