East Windsor Pushes In-Person Classes to Nov.9

EAST WINDSOR, NJ — The East Windsor Regional School District announced that it was pushing back in-person instruction to Nov.9. The announcement was made by school superintendent Mark Daniels on Aug. 26. The in-person instruction will follow the hybrid model adopted by the school board.

The district begins remote learning on Sep. 9.

The hybrid model combines in-person learning and remote learning. Students will be divided into two groups that will take turns attending class in person and remotely, on an alternating A Day and B Day schedule.

“It is critical to ensure the necessary health and safety precautions for in-person instruction are in place on the first day of school,” said Daniels.

He said the school district is working towards obtaining and installing HVAC system before in-person classes.

Daniels said that a number of teachers have asked the district permission to teach from home due to medical conditions that place them at a risk of contracting COVID-19. “We need to ensure that we have adequate staff present in buildings to monitor students and provide in-person instruction,” he said.
