Boca Raton campuses and facilities closed on Thursday, October 10, 2024, due to Hurricane Milton. The Schaefer Family Campus, Beth El Mausoleum, and Beck Family Campus all ceased operations for the day as the storm approached.

The Schaefer Family Campus and Beth El Mausoleum reopened on Friday morning, October 11, 2024. This allowed Yom Kippur services at the Beth El Mausoleum to proceed as planned. The Early Learning Center at the Beck Family Campus reopened on Monday, October 14, 2024.

Hurricane Milton's approach necessitated these temporary closures, affecting daily routines for students, families, and community members utilizing these facilities. The decision prioritized safety in anticipation of the storm's impact.

Residents should note that while the immediate threat passed, the staggered reopening schedule for the Early Learning Center meant a longer disruption for some families. All facilities have since resumed normal operations.
