School Forms and Info

Congregation Beth Emeth Religious School provides vibrant and engaging Jewish learning for students in grades K-10th. When we open in person learning in the fall of 2021, we will continue to follow CDC guidelines, with updates from the CBE COVID-19 Task Force and the health guidelines for the State of Virginia. Accommodations will be made for students who are still not able to attend classes due to Covid-19. Please contact the Religious School office if you need to make alternate arrangements or if you have any questions, at RelSchool@bethemeth.org.

School Closing Policy for Inclement Weather or other Events

• The Religious School Director, in consultation with the Executive Director, will decide whether to close school.
• On weekdays, the Religious School generally, but not always, follows Fairfax County Public Schools' decision to cancel school or after-school activities. Notice of school cancellation will be sent via email as soon as possible and will be recorded on the synagogue's voicemail system.
• On weekends, the Religious School does not follow the Fairfax County Public Schools’ decision. If Religious School and student programs are cancelled during the weekend, the announcement will be emailed to parents and will be available on the synagogue’s voicemail system.
• If an emergency causes Religious School to be closed, parents will be contacted by email and/or telephone as soon as possible. A message also will be posted on the synagogue’s voicemail system.
