Weather Policy

Snow Closings and Delay Policy

The following policy applies to all of our children. Beth Shalom ELC delays and closings are made on an individual, case-by-case basis and take into consideration the following:

• Road conditions and significant weather that impacts roads/travel
• Accessibility of our school to families and staff
• Delays and closings of surrounding universities and school districts

Remember that a “safety first” approach should always be your first consideration regarding inclement weather and your decision as to whether or not to attempt to get to school.

Beth Shalom reserves the right to modify programming in order to meet state, NAEYC, and Keystone requirements.

Notification of Delays/Closings

Every effort will be made to notify families by 6:00am the day of the delay or closing. When delayed, Beth Shalom will make every effort to remain open for the rest of the day, however it is the responsibility of families to check for any change in status from “delayed” to “closed.” All delays and/or closings will be broadcast in the following ways:

• Outgoing phone message of Beth Shalom Early Learning Center (412-421-8857)
• Constant Contact emails
• Text messages from Tadpoles
