Early Dismissal For East Windsor Schools Amid Cornavirus Concerns

EAST WINDSOR TOWNSHIP, NJ — The East Windsor Regional Public School District will have an early dismissal on Friday and Monday as the district prepares for the possibility of home-based learning due to coronavirus.

“This will provide our administrators and teachers with an opportunity to finalize and review the plans associated with Remote Learning,” Superintendent of Schools Mark Daniels said in a letter to parents on Thursday. “I realize this is somewhat short notice, but it is in the best interest of our students to ensure we have an appropriate Remote Learning plan in place. Kidcare will remain open.”
