We are asking for families to enter Gurnee Mills off of Sterns School Rd. Using the map below, proceed down towards the south parking lot between Sears and Macys. Gurnee Mills has informed us that they still have customers still using Bed, Bath, and Beyond so we need to avoid that part of the lot.

Zoom Guidance for Students and Parents
Millburn is taking steps on our end within the settings of Zoom to help make these live meetings as safe and secure for students as possible. Student behavior during live sessions should match that of a typical classroom.
****Allowing students to use the Zoom platform is a privilege and is safe for students to use if they follow the rules. However, Zoom can be used by students in unhealthy ways. Parents must be aware that students can initiate a Zoom conference through their iPad with any other student on our network, or anyone else if they invite from the outside. We don't yet have the ability to limit this option. Please monitor any Zoom conferences that your children participate in, and we strongly recommend keeping iPads out of students' bedrooms overnight.
Millburn is going to turn the Zoom App off at 5pm each night and back on at 8am.
Parents might consider to have students in the room with them anytime they are using Zoom.
