Weekly Wrap Up
Benedict A. Cucinella School 1/1/2022
Week 17
If you haven't done so already, I encourage you to read Dr. Turnamian's most recent Community Update which was sent out yesterday afternoon. Within the update, Dr. T. notes that our district's Covid protocols will remain in effect until the week of January 17th which is two weeks after we return to school. He is waiting for further guidance from the CDC and NJDOH, specific to schools, prior to making any decisions with regards to shortening the quarantine time for our students. With that said, if you are in need of Covid guidance, please reach out to Nurse Ewer (jewer@wtschools.org) or myself (mkeiser@wtschools.org) and we will provide you with any necessary information. It is important that we continue to work together to keep our schools open and our students, staff, and families as safe and healthy as possible.
Looking Ahead:
Monday, January 3rd - Schools Reopen
Monday, January 3rd - Friday, January 7th - Day 4 through Day 3 (Elementary Specials)
Tuesday, January 4th - Board of Education Meeting - LVMS PAC 7:30pm
