Reopening Plan

The New Jersey Department of Health recommends that students with the following symptoms or combination of symptoms be promptly isolated from others and excluded from school:

• At least two of the following symptoms: fever (measure or subjective), chills, rigors (shivers), myalgia (muscle aches), headache, sore throat, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, congestion, or runny nose;

OR

• At least one of the following symptoms: cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, new olfactory disorder, or new taste disorder.

A COVID negative PCR test or Rapid Antigen test is required for return to school for symptomatic individuals, even with an alternate diagnosis such as a positive strep or influenza swab.  This requirement for testing is for all students and staff, regardless of vaccination status. 

Please notify the attendance officer or the school nurse office if your child is exhibiting Covid-19 compatible symptoms. We hope your child feels better soon and we look forward to their safe return to school.

As per the New Jersey Department of Education’s “Road Forward” Plan, the district will provide remote instruction to quarantined students in a manner commensurate with in-person instruction to the extent that is possible.   

All quarantined students must log in to class via their teacher’s permanent Google Meet link for attendance purposes at the start of class with their camera on. If the camera is not on, the student will be marked absent. These procedures only apply to students who are quarantined due to COVID, not absences due to other reasons.

Remote instruction starts typically a full day after the school is notified that a student needs to quarantine.  The first day out of school will be treated the same way as if you are sick and at home during a normal year.  Log onto the teacher’s Canvas page, engage in the work that you are able to, and reach out to the teacher via email for further assistance.  

If you are unwell and unable to engage remotely in schoolwork, simply do not log on for the day and the day will be counted as an absence due to illness.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to your teacher, guidance counselor, or building administrator if you have any questions or concerns.  We hope to see you back in school soon.  Stay safe!
