Back To Yeshiva

A (mostly) comprehensive list of what needs to get done....

KEY:

  • EECC = Esformes Early Childhood Center (JPK-K)
  • KES = Klurman Elementary School (1-5)
  • GMS = Girls Middle School (6)
  • RMS = Rohr Middle School (Boys 6-8)
  • DACHS = Dr. Abe Chames High School (9-12)
  1. Make sure your contract is signed and your payment arrangement is set up at ytcte.org/register
  2. If you applied to a government voucher program (Gardiner, Step Up For Students, VPK, Family Empowerment, etc), please make sure you’ve sent the award letters to [email protected]
  1. Make sure your immunization records are uploaded, and the health portal is completely filled out at ytcte.org/health.
  2. Families new to Florida: You need to have your immunization records OFFICIALLY transferred over to Florida immunization forms. This can be done in one of 2 ways: 
      • Visit a Florida doctor, who can do it for you. Make sure to take your out-of-state immunization records with you to the doctor.
      • Go to the Florida Department of Health – Immunization Health Department to get the forms transferred for free. Appointments can be made at 305-575-3800 in Miami Dade or 954-467-4700/954-767-5111 in Broward. (Broward has many locations available and faster service.)  This is a good option for those who do not yet have a Florida doctor or insurance coverage.
      High School dorm students and families new to Florida have an extension of up to 30 days from the first day of Yeshiva to submit their Florida immunization records. In the meantime, we still need your child’s health information on file! Please upload your out-of-state forms, and the Director of Records will contact you.

    • All boys need to wear tzitzis, a yarmulke and shirts with sleeves.
