Dear Moorestown School Family,
Perhaps you woke up today, like me, waiting for someone to say …“April Fools!” Unfortunately, that did not happen and it felt more like “Groundhog’s Day” – same place, same drill, and the same incessant thoughts about Covid-19. We truly hope that you and your family are well and our thoughts and prayers go out to the families in Moorestown that are struggling with Coronavirus near and afar!
That being said, school and this new lifestyle marches on. Thank you all for working with us as we began to unfold our repackaged workweek – Four Plus One. It is important to note that all of our staff are continuing to work a 5-day week, and we are still pushing out content for students that will require them to complete a week’s worth of work. Friday will also include things like office hours, additional access to related arts, support services, counselors, extra help, and professional development for our staff so we can learn more about working in dynamic platforms with your students. Our professional and support staff will have the opportunity to join in on webinars with Apple, Google, Zoom, etc. As I have said many times before, we truly appreciate the work everyone is doing to learn and grow in this new environment – thank you.
Lastly, I want to share the information that we have to date. The school buildings will not reopen on April 20, 2020. Federal social distancing restrictions remain at least until April 30, and the State of New Jersey is expected to provide additional guidance by April 17. Therefore, we will need to be prepared for at least two more weeks of remote learning. As soon as more definitive instruction is provided, we will alert you to those changes.
Thank you and be well!
Sincerely,
Scott P. McCartney, Ed. D.
Superintendent
