Ridgewood School Home School Day 17 ,Due to COVID 19

how to teach frustration tolerance to kids hero

April 20, 2020

Dear Ridgewood School Community,

Last week, Governor Murphy announced that he would provide more information about the length of our school closure by May 15.

I must admit that I will be pleasantly surprised if we open this year. Based on information reported in the news, many things have to happen before we can open as a society; this includes opening schools, which by their very nature are large group gatherings. I bring this up so that during this time of uncertainty, you are prepared for continued widespread school closures and social distancing.

glass_of_water_privatisation
