Subject: Important Update: Back-to-School Guidelines for the Upcoming Academic Year Dear Parents and Guardians, I hope this letter finds you and your families in good health and high spirits. As the school year approaches, I wanted to take a moment to update you on the latest guidelines and protocols for a safe and successful return to school in New Jersey. Firstly, I want to assure you that our faculty and staff have been working diligently over the summer to formulate a comprehensive plan that prioritizes the well-being of our students and staff. As we navigate the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we believe it is crucial to implement precautionary measures and adapt them to the ever-changing situation. In light of the recent guidance issued by the New Jersey Department of Education and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), we have developed a multi-faceted approach that combines both in-person and remote learning options. Our goal is to maintain a safe and inclusive learning environment while minimizing disruptions to your child's education. 1. On-site Learning: We are excited to welcome students back on campus for in-person learning. Our school has undertaken a series of safety measures including: — Increased frequency of cleaning and sanitization throughout the facility. — Installation of hand-sanitizing stations in high-traffic areas. — Ensuring proper ventilation in classrooms and common areas. — Implementation of social distancing measures in classrooms, cafeterias, and hallways. — Use of personal protective equipment by staff members. 2. Hybrid Model: In situations where the number of students exceeds our capacity to maintain safe distancing, we will implement a hybrid model to reduce classroom density. This will involve students attending some classes on-site while others will be conducted remotely. A detailed schedule outlining specific days and times will be provided well in advance. 3. Remote Learning: For families who prefer to continue remote learning, we will offer comprehensive online instruction, ensuring that students have access to the same high-quality education as their peers attending school in person. Our teachers have received training in effective remote instruction to facilitate an engaging and interactive online learning experience. 4. Health and Safety Measures: We kindly request that you play a pivotal role in maintaining a healthy environment by reinforcing the following guidelines: — Performing daily health checks for symptoms, and keeping students at home if they feel unwell. — Encouraging frequent handwashing with soap and water or providing hand sanitizer for your child. — Training your child on proper mask usage, ensuring they wear masks that cover their nose and mouth while on school premises. — Practicing social distancing whenever possible and avoiding large gatherings outside of school. Please note that these plans are subject to change based on new guidance from public health officials and local authorities. We assure you that we will keep you updated throughout the academic year. If you have any questions or concerns related to our back-to-school plans, please do not hesitate to contact our school office. We value your feedback and strive to work together as partners in your child's education. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation as we adapt to this new learning environment. Together, we will ensure a safe and enriching academic experience for all our students.
