MSJE Policies​

School Closures: MSJE follows the Montgomery County Public Schools school closure decisions. We  will email families to notify them of closures.

​

Volunteerism: The school is dependent upon volunteers we’ll periodically ask for parental support for activities such as holiday celebrations, classroom enrichment activities, etc

​

Attendance Requirements: MSJE prides itself on meeting families where they are in their Jewish journey and therefore do not have a formal policy around attendance requirements.  However, we do recommend that students attend at least 75% of classes to get the most out of the program annually. 

​​

School Supplies: Textbooks are supplied by MSJE. Books must be treated with care and respect. Parents are responsible to pay for lost or damaged books. Students are required to bring a notebook, pens and pencils each week. Art supplies, i.e., crayons, glue, markers, will be supplied by MSJE.

​

Class Times: Students should arrive between 9:00 am and 9:10 am. All classes start promptly at 9:15 am and end at noon.  We do ask families to drop their children off on time as tardy students interrupts classroom learning.

​​

Parent/School Relations: MSJE encourages on-going parent-teacher and parent-school relationships. Parents may contact the Director and/or teachers if they want to discuss information about their child’s progress or express a concern that they may have. 

​

Conduct: Proper discipline must be maintained so that the school may function in the most effective way.

Safety: Students will be dismissed only to parents or guardians named in the registration form, unless a letter is written to the teacher and Director by their parent or guardian authorizing otherwise. 

​​

Snacks: Each class has a 15 minute break in which they may have a snack in the cafeteria. MSJE does not permit the use of vending machines within the school.
