Kippot for Girls

Dear Kindergarten Parents,

As you know, the Ottawa Jewish Community School is a pluralistic Jewish day school reflecting and respecting the full diversity of our Jewish community.  As such, our uniform policy “requires boys to wear kippot and offers support to girls who express an interest to do the same”.
To put it more plainly, if a girl asks to wear a kippah we are happy to provide her with one, provided her parents are comfortable.
As this has become a live issue in our Kindergarten, we wanted to take the extra step to remind you should you wish to have this conversation as a family.
For more information about this topic, I encourage you review a blog post from last year that goes into greater depth and detail.
If you have any questions or concerns, I encourage you to let us know.
Thanks!
