Back To School: Lawrence Township Public School Calendar 2022-23

LAWRENCE TOWNSHIP, NJ — The first day of school is less than a month away and families have already begun their planning and preparing.

The first day of school in Lawrence Township in Sept. 6. Staff will participate in professional development on Sept. 1 and 2. All schools and offices will be closed on Sept. 5 for Labor Day.

As of now, there are no mask mandates for students and staff.

The CDC is expected to significantly relax COVID-19 school guidelines in the coming days, according to a news report by CNN.

Regular COVID screening in schools will likely be de-emphasized and the new measures are expected to loosen quarantine guidelines for those exposed to the virus, according to the report. More: CDC Expected To Ease School COVID Guidelines: What It Means In NJ

If enacted, the changes to COVID guidelines would represent a shift in last school year's policies in New Jersey. The state ended its school mask mandate March 7, and only a handful of districts maintained them or brought them back during last spring's surge.
