City Schools is committed to respecting the beliefs of its students, staff, and families. We apologize for any harm caused by the unfortunate scheduling of parent-teacher conferences during Yom Kippur (October 5). Such scheduling does not reflect our values and policies.

We have taken immediate steps to address this matter. Schools are directed to provide alternative days and times for families unable to attend parent-teacher conferences due to Yom Kippur. Athletic games scheduled for Yom Kippur have been postponed. We are reviewing future scheduled events to avoid conflicts with other religious observances to the greatest extent possible.
