Ridgewood NJ, Due to two recent separate positive COVID-19 cases of unknown origin, Willard Elementary School will transition to all remote learning, Monday, November 30, 2020. In-person instruction will resume on Thursday, December 10, 2020. Willard Elementary School students should not participate in out-of-school activities during this time of remote learning. The situation is fluid and updated information from the NJDOH may alter this return date.
After a careful review, the district in coordination with the Ridgewood Health Officer was not able to identify a clear connection or origin of infection between the two cases. Therefore, according to the
NJDOH COVID-19 Regional Risk Matrix and the Ridgewood Health Officer, it is recommended that we transition to remote learning.
All close contacts have been identified and notified. If you have not been notified then your child has not been determined to be a close contact.
How does the superintendent tell parents who’s kids have not been contact traced or in contact with any other person infected to stay out of non school activities? Not going to happen. At least not in this house. Off to basketball this afternoon.
I’ll comply if the health department calls and tells me kid has been exposed for more than 15 minutes in close contact – otherwise, I’ll decide.
If my child has not been in close contact – why am I keeping her out of non school activities as requested in email I received? Not happening.
Is the school insisting everyone quarantine for 2 weeks?
Why not keep the school open? Is online learning effective for grammar school?
Most home school the kids if this is true case. Then a parent can get them out of all the liberal learning and teachings they conflict with the parenting of conservatives.
Two cases two weeks apart and they close the schools? This sounds like a planned closing.
Hawes is now closed…no re-open date, they will go week to week…
Since remote schooling is so successful, we should explore hiring teachers from KY and TN who would be thrilled to work for a third of what we pay our ‘educators’.
Control. Control. Control.
Lemmings all.
When are you going to get it that this virus is no joke and it is highly contagious? why are all these cases popping up then?
