HSA
Happy New Year! Our next virtual HSA meeting is Tuesday, January 12th. A link to sign up will be sent via email. Hope to see you there!
Main Office
If someone in your household is symptomatic or being tested, your student(s) CANNOT be in school.
Daily symptom checker – Early each morning, families will receive a survey via email (and also text message for those who opt for this) with a few short questions. This survey must be completed for EACH child BEFORE they arrive at school for the day. Please have the checker completed by 7:30 am. If the checker is not filled out by 8:00 am you will receive a call from the office.
If you need to drop something off to your student, please use the drop box on the front steps. Please buzz the office to let us know that you left something in the box.
Mrs. Rosenberger RN, School Nurse
Reminders from the Nurse:
Flu Shots -This year more than ever I would like to encourage you and your family to get vaccinated for the Flu. According to the attached “Stay Home/ Go Home” guide, there is a chance your student could miss a significant amount of school this year due to the similarity of symptoms of the Influenza and Covid-19. Let’s do everything we can to keep our kids in school!
Please see links below for more information as well as the Gloucester County Flu Clinic schedule.

Masks and face coverings – IMPORTANT guidance for parents: students should NOT wear masks with ventilation valves/vents, as they do not adequately prevent the spread of COVID. The district requires that students wear cloth face masks, and consider having a spare mask handy. In the event that students forget their mask, schools will have a supply of disposable masks available.
