Snow Cancellation Information:
Beth Chai Family School follows Montgomery County snow closing policy. To find out if school is open you can check the County’s website, or call 240-777-2706. Under some circumstances — for example, difficult conditions for teachers trying to get to the school — we may cancel, even though Montgomery County schools are still open. If that is the case, the room parents will notify the other families in the class, either by email or by phone (as previously arranged by them).
