Snow Closing Policy
Arrivals
On Sunday mornings, parents are always invited and encouraged to spend the first 30 minutes alongside our students in our prayer service. Tefilah B’Yachad for students in grades K-5 begins at 9:30am in rooms 15-16 with Havdalah and then moves to the Chapel for prayers led by Cantor Gloth. NEW THIS YEAR: morning services for students in grades 6-7 begin at 9:30am in the Sanctuary.
Drop your child off at the entrance to the school lobby. Someone will be there to greet and direct students to the proper location.
On weekdays, if your children are arriving by car, drivers may either park and walk children into the building, or drop the children off. If you are dropping off, please pull up as close as possible to the school entrance and use caution when exiting. A member of our staff will always be located near the building entrance to greet students when they arrive.
To help us ensure everyone’s safety and well being, please call our office 781-444-8522 in advance (preferably by 12:00 pm on weekdays) if your child will be absent or arriving late.
Dismissals
Parents are always welcome to park in the large lot and to then come inside the synagogue to pick up their children. If this is not possible, we ask that you adhere to the following instructions to help us ensure safety:
1. Please pull your car into the carpool lane forming a line near the school doorway.
2. Wait until you see your child exit the building before signaling them to your car.
3. Exit the parking line slowly and with caution, looking out for others.
4. If for any reason someone other than you or your designated carpool will be picking up your child, please let us know in advance.
Should you need to pick up your children early, please call our office in advance, and then come inside to sign them out. It is disruptive to our learning environment for students to “be the messenger” on days that they need to leave early. Thank you for helping all of us by communicating through the office 781-444-8522 rather than through your children.
